I watched the weather report this morning and thought of you up there in the north pole when I saw that white blob moving across the screen!  :) I was thinking "Surely not already!" but then remembered that it was this time last year when we got absolutely dumped on with snow.  :-\\\\

I hope it's brief and unremarkable. I hope it stays that way for the next 2 weeks (both here and in the US), so that I can fly back to the US. Then it may snow all it likes on either side of the pond.  :P I need to come up with a magical "No Snow Dance" or something.

Ugh, we just had a blast of sleet mixed with a bit of snow, and there's snow on the hills.  :-X

We are outside Glasgow and I haven't seen any white death today. Has it just passed us by, or have I just been oblivious since I haven't been looking outside that often? I can't see the hills from here, since the clouds/mist are covering them so I have no idea if they are covered in snow yet or not.

I sincerely hope this stuff holds off at least another 11/12 days. We are leaving permanently for the US on Dec. 5th, and we'd rather not be delayed since DH has to start his new job on the 12th! And we need to get our cats out of here before the really cold weather starts, otherwise who knows when they'll be able to fly!  :(

The temperature was DEFINITELY dropping throughout the afternoon today. We even got a small spit of hail at one point, but no snow as of yet.

We had heavy rain mixed with ice chunks today, but I've seen that mid summer here too, so I didn't get excited. I'd love to see snow (if only on my street so it doesn't affect anyone's travel plans) on Monday when I decorate the tree. The weather report says no, but a girl can hope.

Shhhhhhhhh! You hush now. We do not want snow until AFTER the 13th December. Thats when I fly from London to Phoenix. It can blizzard after that, for all I care.

I dont want to drive in snow, so pray it doesn't. :)

Nah, Ashley - I reckon it's going to be a really mild winter, no snow at all here - hooray!!!!  Seriously, that would make my winter to not have it.  ;D

As soon as the sun went down, our rain turned to sleet for a little while. So many tiny threats to my trip in 1.5 weeks! Must hold off a little longer!  :)

I'm down in Stafordshire but flying home tomorrow. Saw threats of white again on the tell. Hmmm

There was snow in my part of Indiana today, but none for me. I had torrential rain and gusting winds.  ::)
