    No snow in the Bay Area (/feignsurprise!), was there even any in Montreal?

      Luckily we made up for it on the 26th and 27th.

      Was this so hard to understand, then?

        No white christmas here despite the facts of rite - christmases are supposed to be white.

        Nah, reality is that we only have had 5-7 white x-mases the last century.

          I thought you lived somewhere else now.

            Christmas Eve was about 50F (10C) with heavy rain. Christmas Day was a soggy 12C morn, with more rain in the afternoon.

              Yes, but why would I spend Christmas in Baltimore alone with my wife when we could go back to Montreal and spend it with our families?

                I'd come up with some sort of witty retort, but I assume it would just lead to further pwnage as my brain in fact shut down for the night about 6 hours ago.

                    But it has got absolutely nothing to do with global warming, because it does not exist

                      That's only if we use the danish official definition of a white Christmas, for a year to be called a white Christmas 90% of Denmark has to be covered in snow IIRC (which happened in 1995 and 1981), there's probably been some local snow on Christmas eve a few times
                      This space is empty... or is it?

                        Global warming or not, something IS different about the weather.

                        When I lived in New Zealand, I remember long hot summers, I remember as a kid, running along concrete paths as fast as I can and jumping into the hot leather seats in the car because the concrete was too damn hot to stand on. That would be about this time of the year, but now, and recently, we'd all be disappointed, and wondering where the hot weather has gone.

                          I suppose I could also just blame the whole thing on the highly unnatural idea of not having snow on the ground in Montreal around Christmas. I have lots of childhood memories of winter involve large banks of snow that people are desperately trying to dig cars out of

                                Global warming for you!
