patio table with a few more inches of snow
Barring a dramatic – and highly unlikely – overnight melt-off, there will be more snow on the ground in Vancouver tomorrow than on any Christmas on record.
Jack and I were mulling over the last time we can remember a truly white Christmas in our home town. Jack says he remembers one as a small child. I only remember an icy Christmas one year when I was in my early 20′s. (So only a few years ago.) 
The Columbian released this article with data on when we’ve had a White Christmas in the past: Christmas snowpack will break record ~Interesting stuff!
We woke up this morning to several inches of new snow on top of the 13 inches we already had from this past week’s snow storm. Supposedly it’s going to warm up and turn to rain at some point today, but even if it does, this isn’t melting overnight and I think it’s safe to say we’re having a white Christmas! We’re pretty OK with that. The sight of all this snow in our neighborhood is breathtakingly beautiful and our kids (and ourselves) are enjoying every single moment of it.
