Things to Know!

#1.  It Snowed!

Not a lot, but it's Christmasy!

*******

#2.  It's 24 degrees at 7:00 a.m. 

and here is the morning forecast:

"Snow Showers and Cold, Very Chilly the Next Couple of Days.

An upper-level disturbance looks to keep a few snow showers in the forecast  (especially to the south and west) but the bigger story will be the temperatures. Highs will only be in the upper teens and low 20s and many will actually see temperatures fall through the day.

Christmas Day we'll notice clouds increasing from the west out ahead of our next system of interest with highs in the low/mid 20s. While a late day Christmas snow shower cannot be ruled out, there will be the increased threat for some snow on Thursday.

This is also when temperatures are expected to return to more seasonable levels."

#3.  Santa's Reindeer have been issued a permit by the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) to enter the U.S.

 According to Google, Santa has already left the North Pole.

You can follow his travels, HERE.

Norad also has him on their radar.

#4.  I want to thank all of you for your Christmas cards and E-greetings.

I've decided that I have a Magic Christmas List: every time I cross off one "to do" item, three more appear!  This will not be the first year that I will have spent some of Christmas day with paint brush and colored pencils in hand, but until my real Christmas card is finished, please accept this old view, again, with my very best wishes.
