(Un)fortunately no....

....white christmas this year! unless the weather suddenly changes drastically. its been windy and today especially very rainy. beeeehhhhh.... 
3 years ago, december 2010, we were back in the netherlands after having moved to boston that april. while there wasnt any snow in boston yet (i was anxiously waiting to get to see some real snow, as i had never seen in my life), we did get snow when we were back in the netherlands during christmas! actually, the snow had fallen before we came, but it remained so cold for the 10 or so days that the fallen snow stayed on the ground... we saw it turn into ice (there were quite some problems removing it), creating dangerous, slippery roads. but look how pretty it is! outside the city, a white farm, of course the tree lined raod again.... frozen ditches....
today is the longest night!! meaning from tomorrow on the days get longer again. yaaaayyy!!

The Netherlands looks wonderful with snow on the ground. And, that tree-lined street is special.

Hartford had snow last Tuesday and a small amount is still on the ground, but the temperatures are high and most of the snow has melted. I don't think we will see snow again before Christmas. I don't like cold weather, but at Christmas in New England, there should be snow.

The snow is much better than the weather here. Freezing rain warning for tonight.

We got three more inches of snow last night, making Christmas eve look quite lovely. Great photo for the holiday!
