Anyone else in the North celebrating a green Christmas?

[Kaleva]

Have it here in Upper Michigan, north of Wisconsin.

If it wasn't raining, I could till the garden and now the yard.

We had some on the ground earlier- all gone now...

[2naSalit]

2. Sort of.

It got cold and we got bout a half inch of snow for the holiday. Soon as it gets above freezing today it will be gone.

[Poiuyt]

3. It's 50 degrees where I am in Wisconsin

[Chautauquas]

4. 50 degrees in Wisconsin

We had all of our family here yesterday and nobody complained about there being no snow.

Last week got the mower out and chopped up all the oak leaves in the back yard.

[EYESORE 9001]

5. Bet we hit 60 today in NE Ohio

[Takket]

6. I'm down in Detroit. It is damp and foggy. Looks more like September in Ireland than Christmas in Michigan lol

[PJMcK]

7. Northern Virginia

We golfed this morning.

Merry Christmas!

[rogerballard]

8. Partly sunny and 50 degrees...

In Burton, Michigan

[Delphinus]

9. NE Indiana

Rain on and off and supposed to be a record high of 57F today.

[Ocelot II]

10. Yes, in Minnesota. But it's not green, more of a murky, dead brown.

It reached a high of 54 yesterday and rained all day. Right now it's 52 and still drizzling. Any temperature above freezing this time of year is unusual, and we've had an occasional Christmas without snow, but 54 degrees? Are you kidding me? If it dries out a bit I will be able to finish some yard work I didn't get to last month, and I won't need a jacket. Too weird.

11. It's raining here in the Greater Seattle area.

The prime reason why we are the Evergreen State. So a green Christmas here today.

🎄

[Wounded Bear]

31. Almost every year...

Hardly ever get a white one around here.

[indigovalley]

12. 52 degrees here in SE Minnesota

It so warm I had to turn off the heat in my apartment. Its an overcast day and we will get a little rain this afternoon.

[harumph]

13. We are so fucked.

[Firestorm49]

14. 54 degrees in the Milwaukee area.

[BannonsLiver]

15. It's a very green Christmas where I'm at

[Trailrider1951]

16. It's 41*F and raining here near Orting WA

Too warm for a white Christmas. We'll get that maybe next month.

I'd much rather deal with rain than ice and snow.

[LeftInTX]

17. Milwaukee had a green Christmas in 1982. It was 60 degrees.

[sinkingfeeling]

18. Yes, 54 and raining in Illinois.

[yardwork]

19. Mid 60s in North Carolina.

[ProfessorGAC]

20. Yes, Here Near Chicago

I just went to pick up my BiL to being him here for Christmas dinner.
It's 56° and drizzling.
Dreaming of a WET Christmas.

[Kennah]

21. 42 and rainy in Olympia. The usual.

[karynnj]

22. Here in Burlington Vt, no snow in sight

Fortunately, there was snow in the Green Mountains at least within the last week.

[LiberalFighter]

23. Question. Did you use your cellphone or computer to post?

[Elessar Zappa]

24. Yes. It's cold here but no snow.

Southwest NM at the foot of the Gila Forest mountains.

[Blue Owl]

25. It's a brown Christmas -- in honor of Donald Dump

It also smells like a freshly manured farm field outside, to add to the ambience….

[gibraltar72]

26. Wrist of the mitten here green and rainy.

[Freddie]

27. Philly burbs. 48, dense fog advisory

Can’t remember the last time we had a white Christmas here.

[doc03]

28. In eastern Ohio it was 62 today and partly cloudy. I took a 20 mile Christmas bike ride today

along the Ohio River. I saw 5 other bikers and lots of people walking their dogs. Saw a bald eagle, got a picture but it was about 150 yards away, so not so good.

[FakeNoose]

29. Pittsburgh hasn't had a white Christmas for over 10 years

I honestly can't remember when we've had a white Christmas. Anyway I think they're overrated. I'd rather have warmer temps and safe roads for driving.

So today we saw the sun for the first time in over a week. It's over 50 degrees I'm sure.
It was still warm when I walked my dog about an hour ago.

[Kaleva]

32. Last year, the snow so so deep, many Xmas services were cancelled

The snow in my driveway was higher then the front of the snowblower.

For the first path, I had to shovel the snow down to a level lower then the top of the snowblower auger. For the second path, I shoveled the top snow back into the 1st path which I snow blowed out before snowblowing the 2nd path to the street. I had to repeat this process till I had the whole driveway cleared.

35. FakeNoose, Pittsburgh had a white Christmas in 2020. We started to get heavy snow after 5 p.m. that day.

I live in the South Hills.

But excluding 2020, you're absolutely correct about there not being white Christmases in a long while. I think the last one prior to 2020 was in 2002.

[debm55]

30. 59 in Pittsburgh today. We hardly ever have snow for Christmas. Most of it comes in January and February.

[JustAnotherGen]

33. Was 56 today

I think central NJ is turning more mid Atlantic. Nuisance snow to sleet events - no big snow like we had in Rochester when I was a kid!

[pfitz59]

34. Seattle is very far North

Cold and wet and very green. Snowing in the mountains.
