+mizapf Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 As I recently said, a White Christmas seems to become rarer in Germany ... but our memories may deceive us. The typical weather situation is that in the two weeks before Christmas, temperatures rise to +5°C and more, with light rains, overcast skies, not really nice with the short daylight. This is a photo from today, and as it is so rare, I'd share it with you here. Maybe this counts as "almost white": a thin layer of snow on the cars and house roofs, and temperatures near the freezing point, around 0°C. Any whiter Christmas out there? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jmazzy Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 A green Christmas here in the Chicago area. It's unseasonably warm throughout the central United States at the moment. However, parts of the western U.S., especially the Pacific Northwest, I think have had some significant snow. There's some snow in Maine, too.

Ed in SoDak Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I noticed 88% humidity yesterday evening. True to forecast, overnight about an inch fell. Pretty light and dry with 17f/-8c making a nice sparkly light show for opening presents. Wife got new cookware and an ipad 5th gen, I was gifted with flannel shirts and a shiatsu massager. Turkey last night and seafood medley today. Hope everyone's was as nice! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sometimes99er Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 We had an inch or two in many parts of Denmark. Drove home from Christmas in -12 degrees Celcius. Mostly 4 lane highway, and kept it at 100 km/h there, not to scare the passengers too much (resulting in me being the slowest moving vehicle in sight). ☺️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mizapf Posted December 29, 2021 Author Share Posted December 29, 2021 Why did Tursi's photo now disappear, also with this forbidden symbol? As for temperatures, we have again +10°C now. December is turning more and more to a dark version of October here. Yesterday I had to turn on the lights in my room at 15:00h, but the dark clouds moved away, and at 16:00 we had a short glimpse of sunshine. This reminds me of my trip to Tromsø three years ago (northern Norway, 69°N) around New Year; see below a picture taken by me at 14:10h. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDMike Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 South Arkansas is about to get weather. Maybe Saturday slight chance of snow... but a blistering 27 degrees is expected. Which is, well it's not Iceland in 1986, but it's stupid cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still see my pic above, though a couple of others have turned to failure symbols. Odd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 in SW MO it's been unseasonably warm (temps in the 60s-70s), but we're going to get a 'cold snap' this weekend where the temps dip down to 20s. Back in 50s a few days later, just in time for everyone to get sick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDMike Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Let's see, hmm . trying to forecast the weather..mans top priority... doesn't look good for the home team. And mother nature, well, she will always get her way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, whenever I see Tromsø, I have that north pole town in mind from The Polar Express. Just without the big Christmas tree and the elves. I should add that later that day, the clouds went away, and it became a bit brighter. I wandered down to Sydspissen, hoping to see some polar lights, but I was not lucky enough. No signs of the aurora. I had some nice views two years before when I was on Senja. See my pictures on www.mizapf.de 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
