<p>Okay, I have the holiday fever! Was wondering what your weather is like across the country? I am in N.C., where our days are mid 50’s to low 60’s during the day, and mid to low 30’s overnight. I don’t suppose we will get snow for Christmas. We haven’t since I lived here, (early 1970’s).</p>
<p>Hey, Mama! I grew up in NC. 
I don’t think I ever truly needed scarf/hat/mittens until I went to college.</p>
<p>Up here in NY (not upstate, just half an hour north of NYC), it’s looking pretty holiday-friendly for this weekend: Highs in the low thirties, with some snow headed our way on Sunday.</p>

<p>Since we are all in holiday spirits, enjoy :-)</p>
<p>We have our first serious rain in over a year…wahoo!</p>
<p>Well, here in the middle of the middle, we had a forecast of freezing rain for the coming weekend (all weekend), but that has shifted a bit north, and instead we will have very cold rain. We had a lot of ice last year, and I can do without that, but I would love to see some snow.</p>
<p>Snow predicted for tomorrow: [7-Day</a> Forecast for Latitude 47.69N and Longitude -122.03W (Elev. 558 ft)](<a href=“http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/forecast/MapClick.php?site=SEW&llon=-122.918747&rlon=-121.191247&tlat=48.389584&blat=46.662084&smap=1&mp=0&map.x=129&map.y=101]7-Day”>http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/forecast/MapClick.php?site=SEW&llon=-122.918747&rlon=-121.191247&tlat=48.389584&blat=46.662084&smap=1&mp=0&map.x=129&map.y=101)</p>
<p>I’m in Los Angeles County…it rained pretty much all day today, it was WONDERFUL.</p>
<p>The gulf cost of Florida is in the mid 80’s. Cold front next week, it may drop up to 10 degrees. We call that holiday weather.</p>

<p>snow for me too :)</p>
<p>We’ve had just about everything you can think of today (Toronto): sun, clouds, rain, wind, flurries, and a temp around 25-30 F. Snow showers seem to be in the forecast for most days for the next week with temps varying from 23 to near 40. I heard on the radio today that meteorologists are predicting that this winter will be the coldest in the past ten years. I still haven’t worn my winter coat so I guess we’ll see!</p>
<p>Free way to get into the holiday mood:
I stopped at Home Depot to get replacement bulbs for the Christmas lights. Sold out but as I walked out by the garden department there was a large bin of evergreen boughs with a sign saying “free”. I took several in an assortment of types thinking maybe they would last if I kept them in water… stopped at Lowe’s (did have bulbs) and when I got back into the car it smelled heavenly! I may just keep them in the car forever. Kind of like driving my own private mountain hideaway to work and back.
Weather here: cooling down and maybe rain but still in the 60’s.</p>
<p>Chicago’s getting highs in the mid-30s, lows around the 20s. My hometown is a little more mild: highs in the upper-30s and lower-40s, lows in the 20s. </p>
<p>Forecast says snow for Chicago tomorrow. I’d like to see some snow on the ground here before I go home for break. I’m definitely hoping for a chilly and snowy Christmas at home, but we’ve been too warm the last couple of years.</p>
<p>In the upper midwest, we are expecting our first winter storm tomorrow. The last I heard 5-9 inches was predicted for the Twin Cities beginning midday tomorrow and going into Sat. Temps this week have ranged from highs in the 20s to overnight lows in the single digits with windshields below zero a couple of nights. We have had a very mild fall so far (this is the first week I’ve bothered to pull out gloves and cap). I guess that had to end sometime…</p>
<p>Mid 30’s daytime,and 20’s at night here in New England. Expecting snow monday. I am praying for a few nights in sub-zero’s this winter. When that happens, there’s less buggies in the summer.</p>
<p>Frightful, and wet.</p>
<p>Rainy… it is London, after all. At least D.C. was a tad bit more predictable. Can’t wait to return to the pacific weather of L.A. (pun… intended?)</p>
<p>I always figured that – climactically speaking – London is like Seattle East.</p>
<p>tlaktan, LA is raining right now (or so I am told)</p>
<p>Northwestern Connecticut: cold . . . cold . . . cold . . . did I mention cold? Winter storm watch for Sunday into Monday. But, I’ve remained here for nearly 25 years because it’s one of the most beautiful places that I’ve ever lived.</p>
<p>It is snowing at my house right now and there is about an inch so far on my deck. (Vermont)</p>
<p>So, you can change the song to…“White Christmas”. :p</p>
<p>Dark, dark, dark and gray, gray, gray. I’m from the PNW, but we’re just enough further north where I live in Germany near the Luxembourg border that I really notice the short winter days. It’s not fully light till 8:30 AM and dark eight hours later. </p>
<p>No snow to speak of yet, but freezing rain the last few days.</p>
