Humans. Where is my snow?
I too was mad that there was no snow on the ground for Christmas this year. Then I got a blizzard warning on my phone so it might still work out ¯_(ツ)_/¯
You dropped this \
washed up on beaches in Australia
I'm swimming in it! We always have a white Christmas, but this year it's spectacular. You could already ski (cross country) on the 23rd, since then there's 20 more centimetres of crispy new snow on top. It's amazing!
Obviously doesn't compensate for the heat elsewhere, but it won't stop me from appreciating what we've got!
Californian checking in, never have had a white Christmas 👍
When I first moved to L.A. from Indiana and was opening a bank account, I was chatting with the banker and it turned out she had never seen snow up close! That baffled me, especially when you can see it in the mountains all winter if you just look up.
Western Canada, and this is the brownest Christmas of my life (over half a century.)
Always wanted to go to BC, it seems incredibly beautiful. So sad to hear how noticeable the effects of climate change are there already.
My wife and I have a Christmas tradition (in Germany).
We go swimming in a local river or lake at some point between Christmas eve and new year.
The last 4 years it was always warmer than 10°C during that time. 3 years ago, it was 18°C, which was completely bizarre. We were lying in the sun to dry after our bath in late December.
