Well, the Minnesota winter weather just barely came through. Since the Thanksgiving snow melted, a week after it fell, the kids were asking "Will we have a white Christmas?", and I kept replying "Probalby so, they are common up here". But as we closed in on the two-week mark, and the 10-day forecast just didn't contain even a hint of a snowstorm, I started to back off on my reassurances. We did get, oh, maybe half an inch Tuesday, and it was so cold that it stuck.
And it looked as if that paltry bit of white was going to be as good as it gets. But don't you know, early this morning, as we began opening presents, there were flurries in the air. And they continued all morning, heavy--as flurries go--at times, and it was so cold, they accumlated another fractional inch of very fluffy snow.
So, we had, just barely, a white Christmas after all.
