Title: What is Your Christmas Day "Dream" Weather?
Post by: WeatherWitness on December 25, 2011, 02:17:10 PM
I don't think there's ever been a topic about this, and I'd be interested to hear what you all think.  For most of us, it's probably SNOW: several feet!  I personally would prefer sunny skies with snow already on the ground, and a high of around 50 degrees (yes, the snow would begin melting).  On the contrary, my parents actually said sunny and 70 degrees would be the weather that would brighten their Christmas.  So there may be many conflicting opinions out there.  What's yours?

Either cloudy and cold or snowing would be my dream Christmas weather.

Although North Dakota missed out on it this Christmas, I'd love to see bitterly cold temps, preferably less than -10, and snow or blowing snow.

I'd love see at least some flurries, but that won't happen in Florida any time soon, at least central and south Florida.  :rofl2: But this is nice balmy weather right now.  :yes:

What we had last Christmas was my dream becoming a reality. 30s and snow falling the entire day of Christmas.

Although this is post Christmas, may your dreams come true  :innocent:, even though this will inevitably be only a fantasy  :lol: The freezing line is just barely north of Miami, while it's 5 degrees here in Atlanta!

Snow on the ground with snow falling, temps in the upper 20s, and not too windy. So cold enough for a nice snow, but not miserably cold and/or windy.
