Megathread What is the weather like where you are this holiday season?

December so far was unusually cold here in central Europe. Almost always freezing, from 0C to -10C, almost no snow though.
Ironically next week since Christmas Eve it should be much warmer, up to +8C lol.
 
today it is sunny with a high of 65F. i haven't a clue how people manage to get in the holiday spirit here. palm trees look really silly all decorated for xmas.
 
It is the first day of winter and finally some snow on the ground! The snow has been falling and blowing around all day. I have almost 4 inches of heavy wet snow on the ground as of right now where I live. The wind gusts are up around 30-40mph with temperatures in the high 20's so it's a bit chilly outside. So happy to finally see some snow, it always makes me feel better for some reason.
 
Man it was nice a few days ago nice n sunny. But then came the fuckin rain and today its so fuckin cold and windy wich makes it 10x worse. No snow so far this year.

Not a big fan of snow but if its gonna snow it better fuckin snow! None of that half ass shit. I'm talkin bout a foot of snow. Then me and my friend will grab some shovels and go around and make some $$$ shovelin driveways.
 
It's been nice but yesterday was wicked- rain, wind steady at 20-25mph, gusts to 60, temp was 35-40F. Might get a little snow on Christmas eve and day.
 
Major white Christmas up in Ottawa. We just got dumped on. There was some freezing rain in there too; it took me 20 minutes to get my car cleared off to just barely be legal. Daytime highs around -5C, down to -10-15 at night, windy as all hell; straight out of the north. Looks like the encrusted (but still white) snow will stick around a while.

On another note, it fills me with sadistic happiness when I see (non seriously injured or fatal) accidents where people just forget to slow the hell down, apply brakes a lot earlier and softer than you normally would, and generally don't make any jerky movements. The first snowfall of the year is always the same; cars off the road everywhere. Do people seriously just forget those parameters from 9 months ago? You can also feel that the tires aren't gripping anything solid; there's a certain intuition there. Expand your conscioussness people!

Heh, maybe they're just southerners or Britons. ;)

edit: Sorry if it happened to you jackie; just my ramblings. I did it myself after hitting a deer a couple years ago. My dad was pissed; by the time he went to get the deer, someone else had already snagged it. :P
FYI, I always keep blankets/jar candles/lighters/matches/rope/hatchet/bunch of other crap in the trunk of my car. You can have a jar candle going in your car instead of running the engine all night. It doesn't consume enough oxygen or make enough CO to harm you, but produces enough heat to keep the car from being a total ice box. The faint light helps too.

Its so sunny and humid here at the moment, im planning on cracking open a box of beers and having a bbq for christmas, I am not jealous of your guys freezing Christmas' at all!
 
It is very mild here in Paris, I'm pleasantly surprised, after having had a cold and rainy week. Not much sun, but almost autumnal.
 
It's 6:30pm, 75 F with a nice breeze (I'm on an island in the middle of the pacific)

Merry Christmas eve if your into all that :)
 
Fucking Cold degrees F. 60degrees to 33 the next day... what the flying fuck is that.... I hate Midwest weather sometimes...
 
Merry christmas bluelight! :) It rained last night here in the UK, so it's nice and wet outside, no white christmas as usual :( Have a great day everyone
 
In London, cloudy today, weatherman said around 50 ie 10c, but with the breeze it felt a bit colder. No rain though.

I Miss Christmas In California, but have spent most of the last few christmas periods over there so It was nice to have one in London this time.
Next year its going to be California again. Was nice to Skype with some of the family who live there today, they are just about to head to Staples to watch the Lakers.

Not a bad christmas day activity
