Today is the official first day of winter and what do my wondering eyes behold? No it wasn't Santa and his reindeer and a sleigh full of toys but a coating of snow. It doesn't look like the picture, but maybe before winter is over it will. I am very happy with the sight of it. Now if only it would stay. How did your first day of winter start.

I got to see some snow before I came home, I could have done without having to drive in it though

@just4him I agree, especially in areas where people dont see that kind of weather enough to have a clue how to drive in it, like texas

@Jessicalynnt People just expect they can drive the same as they do without snow and then they wonder why they got into that accident.

It can be scary to drive in snow, especially if you're not used to it. For me the scariest part of driving in it is trusting the other drivers. I think I'm white knuckled by the time I get in my driveway.

Picture by Pixabay. Not what it actually looked like, but what I wish it looked like. I'm sorry you had exams. I hope you did well with them.

@rajindia53 Going where there's snow is a great place to be. I love winter, and right now I'm wishing it would snow.

That is a picture from Pixabay. We barely had a coat of snow on the ground and it soon disappeared. It's been raining since.

First day of winter here doesn't look like your picture at all. Gloomy look.

It would be nice if we could get some real snow, not just the kind that melts as soon as the weather warms up for the day.

Temps warmed up and the rain began melting the snow. It rained all day today as well. The wind is up right now and the lull we had in the rain a couple hours ago, has started up again. IF temps go low enough over night we could get snow, but I'm not holding on to that idea. We're supposed to be in the 40s today and tomorrow.

Rain rain and more rain yesterday. Today no rain so far but gloomy. Unusual weather for the Chicago area.

It's unusual weather anywhere this time of year. Rained all day yesterday and still raining and the wind has picked up.

@fishtiger58 We had the howling wind too. I'm not surprised it gusted to 50 mph. It was that strong here too.

My first day of winter is upper 50's and lots of rain. Hope the snow stays for you and that you have a white Christmas. It is supposed to be around 68 degrees here in Massachusetts on Christmas day.

Those are unreal temps for this time of year. It didn't stay. It was gone as soon as it warmed up. It's been raining since. We're in the 40s.
