Not What I was Expecting

Okay, I'm bummed. There are no snow flurries of any kind falling from my sky. This is the first day of Winter and I was expecting great things from the weather forecast that predicted at least 8 inches of beautiful whiteness over the course of three days, starting last night. I even postponed my pool until next week because I worried I wouldn't get out of the parking lot to get there. Ha! The jokes on me!
Not a snowflake in sight. When I went to the weather channel this morning to see what was happening (you can't see anything out your windows at 4 AM) I was surprised by the lack of snow in my area, and seeing it all go north of me across the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
I must have been a bad girl not to get my Christmas wish for snow. Either that or everyone who had to shovel during last week's snow event has been praying against my prayer for more snow, and their prayers are being answered, while mine go unattended.
When I looked at the weather site to see just what's going on here, I was even more bummed. Our three day event, has been dwindled down to tonight and tomorrow morning. Not another snowflake on the map until January 4.
I sure wish I could have had a job that paid like it does a weather person, who can guess at the weather, and still get paid.
On the bright side, all my Christmas shopping is done, and due to last week's weather event, we are guaranteed a white Christmas.
Okay, that was my rant against the weather. Notifications are done, and since I've barely written five words this week, I'm going to get to work on New Horizons. I still want to have that book finished by February some time.
Are you getting what you're expecting? Or have you been let down as well? Thanks for reading.
Picture is from last week.

It's sunny here and cold. I think I'll stay in where it's warm.

We have no snow outside right now it's all green. We are expecting snow, rain and sleet tonight though and snow up until christmas so we may have a white christmas though. I hope you do get your wish and it snows before christmas morning.

Snow always falls when you least expect it at least that is how it happens to happen over here.
Good luck with the work on your book though and please keep us posted.

Snow on the Mountains around here but lots of rain at the moment things are seeming a bit better in the weather sense.

We were suppose to have snow in lower Michigan, starting at 1:00 this afternoon. So far, we haven't gotten one flake and it's almost supper time! Our weather man needs to eat his words

@just4him We got some snow last night, probably about four inches. This winter is very mild, in comparison to some we've had in the past!

We are supposed to have a little snow Christmas eve. That's it. It hit 50 degrees here yesterday. Like a heat wave.

@just4him The closest fires to us were the Creek and Skirball fires - but we are in the middle of the Valley, so we weren't in the line of fire. Thankfully they are completely contained, but the one way north of us is still going unfortunately.
Merry Christmas to you too!!

We have icy weather coming tomorrow but I am not sure that it will leave any white stuff. But we are scheduled to have snow on Christmas Day but I am not counting on it.

@just4him A very wonderful Christmas to you as well. Right now it is raining and it is less than 32 degrees so this is not a good thing

@BelleStarr No it's not good. Be safe tomorrow as I'm sure there will be lots of ice out there.
