Well - it really has been snowing here for the last hour. All the way down from London...! It's great!

I've never experienced snow. :))


I've been skiing in Australia and that's as good as it gets for me. I'd love to experience a White Christmas. That would be heaven :)

Even though I see it all the time on TV and movies, I just could not imagine Christmas without a BBQ, swim in the pool, and a few cool ones to get into the festive season.

December Down Under. :)

I experienced a White Christmas in 1998 when I went to Wisconson, America for Christmas. There has never been a White Christmas in London since I was born, I was born in the summer of 1986 and the last white christmas was 1985, so close. I have heard that there was snow in London on the 23rd of December and I wanted to know was there a White Christmas in London. I hoped that I would get one here in New York, I still have 3 and a half hours left for snow, but I seriously doubt that its gunna happen, but a boy can dream. The only thing thats gunna make up for the lack of snow here is the abundance of snow at the ski resort I'm going to on the 28th until New Years Day.

I mentioned this in another thread. But here it goes again :

I GOT A WHITE CHRISTMAS! It's normally about 30 degress celcius on Christmas Day in Australia (the part I live anyway) and it only got to 15 degrees! And at about 4 in the afternoon we got a pile of rain followed by absolutely torrential hail stone which lasted about 15 minutes! So my back and front gardens were all white!! HOW FANTASTIC

Blue Eyes, you are lucky you are not in Sydney with all those bush fires threatening homes.

I hope that CBN members are not affected in any way.

Yes I know! A lot of my friends were complaining about it raining on Christmas Day, think of all those poor people who's houses burnt down! How awful, especially around Christmas.

Hehe...

Here's a picture of me today in the morning. It has been snowing the whole last night and I luged the whole morning :)

But it's the first White Christmas here since 4 years...

I know i can be pedantic but, i always thought that every snowflake was different, it has different patterns to the next one! No snowflake is ever the same!

Aw I'm jealous now. I want a White Christmas, and a pond in my back yard too! And I'll have real ducks, which shouldn't be too hard in my area :)

You know what, I have a family of magpies who visit every morning to drink from the sprinkler and then they sing (and the babies cry funnily enough) until we throw them some bread. How cute :)

Me too now - the snow has melted!!! Argh! I was hoping it would stay up until Christmas, then it could be a "kind of" white christmas.

You see that pond, my dog feel into shortly after we taking that shot...she was sniffing those ducks!! stepped onto the ice, and ::-crack-::! Poor little thing.

That snow in Tim's photo looks really thick - great snow fights no doubt.
