Don't apologize, Ron.  You're only stating the facts. 

We actually had a "white roofed" Christmas.  We had frost Christmas Eve and all the roofs in the neighborhood were frosted white yesterday morning, and sparkling in the sun, although it didn't take too long for it to disappear once the sun hit it.  I guess that's the whitest Christmas I've seen in the 27 years I've lived here.

Today we have blue sky pillar to post and sunny skies.  Forecast is for low 60's this afternoon.  It was 37°F on my patio this morning.

As for the rest of the USA, you wouldn't want to be traveling across the northern tier yesterday or today.  They had a major blizzard that closed every mile of ALL the interstate highways in Minnesota and the Dakotas.  Even the snowplows got stuck, and many people spent Christmas trapped in their cars.  They are expecting more of the same today.

Another reason I live in the sunny southwest.

Central Michigan--snowing like hell right now--monster storm coming in, probably 8-12 in. by morning. Lots of food and libations, so no worries! 

BEAUTIFUL here today!!!! Blue skys and around low 60's! wished it would stay this way but who knows tomorrow it could be 100.;)

Snow joke eh Sue?

Here in Oxford it's cold, wet with sleet or rain, more snow on the way and approaching a New Year. That means the days are already getting longer, even though we perhaps don't notice it just yet. Yippeeeeee, summer is coming!
