A White Christmas in New Orleans

[infrogmation]

The ground is covered with white cold stuff-- sleet and pinhead hail that's been popping down for hours. It's a good day to stay indoors. I'm glad Entergy (the local power monopoly) got the electricity back on in this neighborhood-- some of us were without it for up to 5 hours yesterday. As anthracite coal is alas no longer commony retailed in

Somewhere in Yucatan would be good. Keeping warm?

Snugs and cuddles and warm thoughts to you. :)

This reminds me of the time when the ground was icy in New Orleans and my little Festiva's tires got caught in the streetcar tracks, causing me to hydroplane merilly into oncoming traffic.

Did you used to live here?

TV says the buses and streetcars are shut down. Yeah, we have no idea of how to deal with snow down here.

At least it's not below 0 degrees, fahrenheit. Here in the frozen north it is brrr! We are in upstate NY, but only until tomorrow morning.

Holy Guacamole! It's actually snowing here!

Some locals thought the earlier hail was snow. I may not know much about such things, but I can tell the difference. Hail falls and goes "bonk"; snow floats down. We're getting that floaty stuff.

First snow here since 1989. And this is enough to actually stay on the ground in little patches-- maybe the most we've gotten since the legendary snow of 1963...I'm sure the tv weatherists will tell us.

Okay, for all my gripeing about the cold weather, I just had to go out on the front porch and catch a few flakes on my tongue. Hey, we don't get much occasion to do that down here.

Snow didn't last long. It soon went back to nasty rain and sleet.

News says first white xmas in NOLA since the 1950s.

That snow was FECKIN unreal!!!

I stood outside and tried to catch some on my tongue.. don't think I succeeded. :P

Btw.. in summer I do wish for it to be COOLER.. not cold. Personally, my idea of "winter" is 50-60 degrees.. cool enough to wear those light long sleeve velvet shirts but not cold enough to freeze.
