You and me, both! Guess I am going to have to get up from the computer and go throw some eggs in the pan. LOL
Happy weekend to you, Gail. Cute Christmas graphic. :-)
You know what? It went up to 40 here last night, and we had a down pour of rain! I thought for sure when we got up, the snow would be all gone. If that rain had been snow, we wouldn't have gotten out of the garage this morning!
The rain turned to snow during the night and we have a few feet of snow left out there, and the sun is shining. It's 35 degrees now. I was really afraid that rain would have prevented us from having a white Christmas. But it's all still there.
LOL. Heck, it got colder than that here in CA last night.
It is nice that you will have a white Christmas. You can probably almost depend upon it up there. One of benefits of living in your chilly neck of the woods. :-)
When we first went to Fairbanks, we lived out near the Fairbanks Airport, two blocks from the Chena River.
In Florida, I had to caution my two young sons to watch for snakes - there were none in Alaska, thankfully, but through the yard in Fairbanks daily came all the 'critters' to get water at the River.
The admonition, then, literlly became "watch for bears and wolves and caribou!"
Here is the current view of the Chena River at 06:14:48 from the Live Cam at the Bureau of Land Management there in Fairbanks:
May God Bless You, one and all.
