Snow - White Christmas on the Forum

[Saint Mike II]

To Ivar and all pilgrim posters, Happy Christmas. I am impressed with the little snow flakes. Its about the only way we will get a White Christmas down under. Cheers Mike

 

[SYates]

I had the same thought ;-) Also here in Central Europe is it far to warm for the season, but thanks to @ivar 's snowflakes do we have now a White Christmas ;-) Feliz Navidad, SY

Hi, in the Netherlands today it was around 14 degrees Celsius. No snow around in a lot of places in Europe.
Wish everybody a wonderful Christmas, Peter.

Dude! You are snowing on my beach...!!!



If the fellow above is on Camino, he is surely geared up wrong...then again...

Feliz Navidad from southern Florida y'all...

Feliz Navidad to all!

I am spending the holidays at my sister's in Idaho, there has been 2m since I arrived a week ago and going well below zero this weekend. My friends tell me it is printemps in Biarritz and there has been no snow in the Pyrenees.
Happy New Year!

It will be 80 Deg here in the South of Texas,

That would be wonderful to see again

 

[Dennis D]

We are just happy to see it raining here in Northern California.

Happy Holidays and Buen Camino Camino

Thanks Mike, its just warm and rain clouds up in Queensland, Merry Christmas to all.

 

[William Garza]

Update....
90 deg with heat index.

This..is why when I think of my Camino?
It will be a fall-winter journey.
Happiest and coolest of Holidays to all!

May the snow white out and erase any traces of the years problems
May the only tracks you see...be of those walking away from what gave you ills
May the fires of passions cool, so that you may find rest in your soul
May there be the silence,of peace all around you, so you may hear once again
Your song.

Buen Camino O Pilgrim on the winter Road
Buen Camino Pilgrim, home from the load
Buen Camino Pilgrim, may your plans, someday be tales told.

Love, love, love the snow…there was actually some sun most of the morning, which was nice for my long walk. Best wishes to the entire forum family.

 

[Anemone del Camino]

I have seen pictures of blooming flowers on Boston. Here in Montreal ot went as high as 17 degrees today. Can someone please explain why I was not privy to this year's temps? Talk about a great year for a winter Camino.

This evening I remember the Noche Buenas spent at my grand parents home. Cocktail and appetisers were Spanish: jerez, white asparagus, slices of chorizo and jamon serrano, anchovie stuffed olives. But dinner first and second couraes were french: consome, half a lobster with home made mayonnaise and a block of goose foie gras. And I do mean a block! Oh the good old days, and yes, it was brought into Mexico in not so legit ways . Main course was turkey (north American tradition) but stuffed with chestnuts. For desert little mazapanas, in that beautiful beige and blue Toledo box. Then kt was off to midnight mass at the Paroisse francaise, and back at home to open presents.

I just love how emigration/immigration, even of forced in this case, not once but twice, has made to such a rich life as this meal showed with traditions from many places. May all those experiencing difficult moments tonight, far from their home and loved ones, not knowing what tomorrow may bring, experience a moment of respit and hope on this special evening, no matter what their faith.

May you all share a very special Noche Buena with ypur loved ones as well.

[naplesdon]

Yet in Idaho, this is the scene at Christmas!
Cheers to everyone on the Forum.

 

[VNwalking]

Thank you for the snow, Ivar--a truly Norwegian gift even if you are in Santiago.
Happy Christmas to all of you! May you all have a wonderful day today and a very happy New Year!

It's a 'chilly' 25 degrees C this morning and all the Burmese people are freezing...while I am happily comfortable.

I spend Christmas in Albany during a US Navy port visit many many years ago. The family that took me home with them made me feel right at home and took a lot of the sting out of not being with my family. A kindness that I will never forget. Feliz Navidad, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Buen Caminos

Happy Trails

Mother nature felt sorry for Boston this year. Buen Camino

We're having a white Christmas here in Reno Nevada. If my past caminos run true I will get rained on when I start the French camino in April. Buen Camino

Happy Trails

 

[newfydog]

I guess I had the stereotypical Christmas.. Temperature minus 11 C , 2.5 meters of new snow Merry Christmas everyone!

 

[GettingThere]

Thank you for the white Christmas Ivar! It's a pleasant 18C here at 9pm on Christmas day in Auckland, a lovely clear summer evening after a cloudy early part of the day. I think it got up to about 25 in late afternoon. But snowflakes are always welcome, even in summer!

Excellent! thanks for sharing this....

and love the snow Ivar! Warm and dry here in Ohio. Nice long hike yesterday - but cut a bit short as I started having a bit of "pinky toe" problem with my boot Beautiful day out though and I enjoyed it. Merry Christmas everyone and I am so grateful for the reason of why we are celebrating today.

Awesome pics Don and Newydog. The traditional white Christmas is such a dream to us in Oz.

[Kanga]

And on Boxing Day in Australia we are watching the Sydney to Hobart Yacht race, bushfires in Victoria, and the cricket. This is pretty much how we celebrate Christmas. No snow.

May you all revel in the light and love this holiday season. Brightest blessings to you all!
