32 degrees here in sunny northern Maine, where the rain last night melted all the ice and snow off our roof and the temperature went up into the balmy mid-50s....at night! We still have a couple inches of snow on the ground. This is bizarre weather for us, too. I like it.

It only took an hour to shovel out the driveway. I went WAY too fast! I will need at least an hour to get my heart rate down and take a BATH! Thank God I could find the snow shovel and that I didn't sell my ski boots or coat on my yard sale! Neighbor said that once you are out of the subdivision, the plows have been by. One hour north of here they have no snow. I may try escaping today. I've had it! That means that I will have to pack fast and buy a few presents on the way. I just can't stand the idea of being cooped up here for Christmas.

Angel kisses, Annie! This Maine weather is very strange, as Mak has described. At least the ice has melted from the driveways giving us a fresh start for the next batch of snow.

Reader...I'll send it up on the Amtrak that leaves in the middle of the night! LOL! I've escaped my home, and got the Christmas shopping done. It was a slippery mess, but doable. There is no snow an hour north of us and the Interstate is open if you are going north. It's 2 right now and feels kind of warm. It will be 8 below tonight. It was close to that this morning. 8 below on Christmas will be a record low. I will be leaving for my parents tomorrow morning and that is a surprise. I didn't think that I could get out that fast!

This is the weather map at www.accuweather.com. I am where the red is. The red means ice. No ice so far, but it is 32 right now with a bunch of moisture still around. (the yellow is high winds, orange dense fog)
Have I mentioned that I am on an island with ONE bridge in and out? If we get snow or ice, they will surely close the bridge. Which wouldn't be so bad except I am supposed to go to the mainland airport tomorrow to pick up my sister who is coming to visit from the town where Schoolmarm will be tomorrow, probably basking in the warm sunshine. This is just nuts. Edited to add: Thanks, Rosie! Your post was not there when I first started posting.

Dang, let's hope that you sister brings her WARM coat and that her airport is not socked in.... Everything above St. Louis will be OK! I was a little worried about my bridge over the lake, just cause it is so long and only has a tiny guardrail. This IS nuts....the north has mild weather and we are freezing out buns off in the south. Take some rugs with you to jam under your tires in case you get in a slick spot. They work wonders.

It snowed here on the 22nd, it has not been above freezing since (it was 2 degrees this morning!)....We have 3 inches of snow still on....WHITE CHRISTMAS!!!! First since 1990! Kids are thrilled. BUT we got ice first so the roads are terrible...DH had to stay at work on the 22nd...and when he finally got to come home last night the usual 1 and a half hour drive home took 4 and 1\2 and traffic was at a stand still on the freeway...It is a mess, but it sure is pretty to look at.

It is supposed to snow/sleet this morning here in South Louisiana. Last night we had a few flakes but it didn't last long. This is just too bizarre, lol.

SNOW!!!! Here are the early rushes. Waiting for it to get a little lighter so we can go outside and take more pictures. Temp is 29, so no fear of the snow melting right away. These were taken from the balcony about 7 a.m. Look at that sky and surf!!
Texannie, I DO have to go somewhere. I have to go to Harlingen about 30 miles away and pick up my sister from the airport. The causeway bridge is open though and looks like the roads are too. I don't have to go until about noon, so it should be fine.

Beautiful! However, it is SO odd to see snow with palm trees. And I thought that a foot and a half of snow on top of my swimming pool looked odd. This takes the cake! I'll be venturing out in my winter wonderland for Central Illinois, where there is NO SNOW!

Juju and Bigdog must have been awake all night in order to set up that area to look like snow. lol. Juju, heard on the news this morning that some place in Texas received their first snow ever. Is that where you are?

Rosie, that could be here for the first snow ever. Haven't looked at much news coverage yet. Victoria, about 150 miles north of here, got a FOOT of snow, first big snow in 86 years. A FOOT of snow where it never snows is a LOT.
