Was it a White Christmas?

Different people have different definitions of ‘White Christmas.’  To me, a White Christmas is either having a fresh coating of snow on the ground or having snow falling from the sky.  Either one works for me.  On the set tonight, I asked Marty and he said that snow on the ground is a White Christmas.

I posed the same question to the twitterverse tonight, as well.  Here’s what you had to say…

Christmas Eve Ice Storm

I wasn’t around the Alleghenies on Christmas Eve, instead, I was back home near Pittsburgh.  We tend to have similar weather (with the exception of an occasional elevational event).  I went out on Tuesday night to watch the Penguins game and was driving back home from a friends house around 1:00 AM.  Most of the main roads were pretty good on my way home, but the side streets were a little dicey.  I was on the highway getting ready to get off the exit going pretty close to speed limit when I started to slide.  I found myself heading straight into the ‘exit’ sign just to the left of the offramp…

'Tis the Season (Snow and a Parade)

Ebensburg Christmas Parade

'Tis the Season!

Two blog posts in one.

First:  Check out the snow falling from the blog.  You’ll only see it until the holidays are over.  It’ll be retired automatically on January 4th, 2009.  I still think it’s pretty cool, though.

Second:  Janel Knight and I were at the Ebensburg ‘Dickens of a Christmas’ Parade this morning.  It was cold, but I was surprised to see how many people were standing out there to see the parade.  That was pretty cool (literally).  I’ve uploaded some pictures that I took from the event.  They’re cameraphone pictures, so they aren’t the greatest.  If you see yourself, leave me a comment and let me know!

Great Day for Decorating!

Hopefully you made the most out of the day today with temperatures close to average. It’s the first time in 18 days that we’ve been even close to average. The last time we were above average was in the middle of November.

If you were decorating for the holidays, did you use LED lights? [...]
