Maybe More Snow?

The snow we got earlier is long gone, but I just found this article on one of our local channels :

More snowflakes expected to fall 

 Here are some more statistics – the last time we had snow on Christmas Eve was back in 1998 and the snowflakes we saw this year on Christmas Day is only the sixth time since 1940 that it has happened.  In fact, the chance of a white Christmas for downtown Portland is just 1 percent.

So for our 1st Christmas here we were lucky enough to get snow!  I’ll take that as a good sign………..because when we moved to Florida, we got hit with 4 hurricanes in 2 months…….with 2 of them hitting us directly within 3 weeks…….not a good sign.  =)

Perfect!!

We actually got snow on Christmas Day!!! I know it isn’t going to last, but it was perfect timing!

We were watching the Simpson’s Movie that I got Harold and he looked back out of kitchen windows and said “Holy shit” a couple of times. I thought he was just screwing with me……..he does that a bit………lol So I pointly didn’t look back. When I decided to fall for it, I saw that he wasn’t pulling my leg…………it was SNOWING!!!!

Now, I know those in the midwest are probably tired of it. But we get it mostly in rain form, while about 30-40 miles east they get the snow………..I mean a LOT of snow. So this was a neat treat. =)

He got me the Blue Man Group audio CD & DVD, Bon Jovi Lost Highway DVD, CDs Tracy Chapman, Amy Winehouse : Frank, Alanis Morissett : Jagged Little Pill, he got me the Drew Brees Authentic Jersey I always wanted and some really cool snow boots! I really needed those, my other ones are from 88/89 when we left Alaska.

Alexis even got in on it………….lol

Harold’s folks sent us some wild rice, peanut brittle, knitted slippers and some knitted dish clothes. That was really cool. I love how colorful the dish clothes are.

Time for a shower and on to watching more movies.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
