    My best Christmas ever was in Belgium. We were supposed to go to Germany for the day to visit distant relatives. A blizzard closed everything and instead I got to stay in a bathrobe and read.

    Now I would have to go and pack a bathing costume. I am not a fan of climate change.

      January and February is when it normally gets cold here.

      People like to pretend that Christmas was a time of snow and ice, but that’s pretty rare. Dickens wrote about them, but his childhood coincided with the coldest decade in over a century.

        Lived in my city for 37 years. Never had a “brown Christmas” until this year. It has also been above freezing every day this winter. Not the norm.

    Last year at this time I had survived driving home from the Oregon Coast through a hell of a snowstorm in Portland with freezing rain to make it back to snowmageddon in Vancouver just in time for Xmas. This year I’m kinda of happy for rain and a high of 7C today.

      It’s nice to have slightly more normal weather in the valley and coast, but the lack of mountain snow is concerning.
      While it’s not unusual in an el nino year we weren’t really bolstered by heavier snow years beforehand.
      Next summer has a good chance to be very interesting.

    I feel bad for you, hope you have a nice Christmas anyways. But here (Gutenberg, Sweden) we have ~0°C and snow outside. That’s not exceptionally cold, but we still have snow *-<|:+)

    Here in Brazil, June is the cold month, and December, the hot month. So Christmas here is naturally warm/hot.

    Here in Texas it’s not irregular for Christmas to be 80°F (26.5°C).

    And even though its 72°F (22°C) today, it looks like tomorrow will be 57°F (14°C)
