Default Does it have to snow on Christmas to be a "white" Christmas?

What if it snowed 3 or 4 days ago and the snow hasn't melted, does that qualify?

We had a half-inch of snow on Wednesday and it hasn't melted. If this qualifies, it's the first white Christmas in Dallas since 1926.

We're still living on a half inch from last week. Better than nothing, though the snowmobiling could be better.

Oh, to be innocent of the ways of frozen tundra. When it's -7, the roads are rinks. Plus, my winter boots don't fit under the shifter.

I don't think Dale can comprehend what it is like to be cold with snow.

Surprise! I am familiar with that forbidden white stuff! I'm just lucky enough to have to travel a long ways to find it, then ride home to my warm west coast weather! We rarely get the stuff around here. When it has snowed in LA it has been a disaster. LA traffic is terrible on a normal day, add snow and well,it's insane on the roads.

Speaking of snow, we have our annual New Years Eve Snowball Ride coming up. LABiker and the Norton Owners Club all head to Newcombs Ranch and snow (usually). Hopefully no ice this year!

Last Christmas I got to ride.... that was a great Christmas. ... this one is going to be a bit too snowy and cold to get any riding in.

I was actually using the 'cocaine buffet' line from Blow... in scarface there is just a huge pile on a desk. I guess either way....
