I sure wish I was looking at that pic instead of what I have outside my door. We broke the December total snowfall before the first day of winter [39"] this year and have added significantly since then. The weather service is suggesting maybe another 9" towards the end of this next week which will put us over the 50 inch mark for December alone.
Areas around the eastern Great Lakes are seeing ugly amounts of snow this year. Snow is novel in your parts but what with this stinky weather pattern that has reared its ugly head so far this winter season don't discount seeing more...much, much more. And then wait for the spring's melt down....best find some higher ground for a month along about April. We'll be sending you gulf coast guys some ugly high water.
At any rate...Merry Christmas and a white one at that.
