I’m gonna go out on a limb and bet we do. We had a white Columbus Day, a white Halloween, a white Veterans Day, a white Thanksgiving, a white Pearl Harbor Day, and I’m pretty sure both Kwanzaa and Hanukkah were white, although I’m not entirely sure exactly when they are/were, to be honest.

For what it’s worth, I’ve also seen a white Father’s Day and a white July 4th, so who really knows?

Nope. Not here in Tucson (surprise, surprise!). Actually, it has happened four times here since they began keeping records in the late 1800s. The most recent was 1987, so 33 years ago. It's supposed to be 69 and partly cloudy. A couple of years ago it was 75 and we ate our Christmas Dinner outside on the patio.

I had my share of white Christmases while living in Minnesota for 15 years, where it happens more often than not. Christmas is a busy time for musicians, and I've got a lot of memories of some sketchy Christmas Eve and Day commutes to go play or sing a service somewhere.

We spent Christmas morning at the beach with croissants and Bloody Mary's. It's a nice sunny 35 degrees C (95 degrees F) here in Perth Western Australia.

No chance of snow here in the Portland/Vancouver area of OR/WA. It is a rare occurance.

I have spent quite a bit of time a bit south of you there in Tucson at Ft. Huachuca. The Huachuca mountains occasionally get snow, but I'm not sure about a white Christmas.

The weather turned upside down over here. It's raining and 8 degrees C. When I was a kid it used to start snowing come late November ...

Sierra Vista is a couple thousand feet higher than Tucson (approx. 4500 vs 2500), so it probably happens there more often than Tucson, but still pretty seldom.

But yes, up in the mountains there's probably a little snow left on northern aspects from our last winter storm.

As for where you are now, I spent many a Christmas growing up in Portland hoping for a white Christmas, but never experienced one. The closest we got was getting snow on Dec. 23rd one year, but then it changed to rain on Christmas Eve and melted everything.

No snow here in central N.C. Snow days last three or four days, and then it melts off. For this reason, snow equipment for the roads is limited, though sand and salt are used. Another hazard is glazed ice which can pop up unpredicted, but then again we can have mild days in February when other places are snowed under. I have seen snow here in April.

Spring like in Idaho today, 60 and 70 % chance of snow tomorrow and the next respectively, with little or no chance of accumulation, we shall see ?

Thursday my yard was all white with the last few snowfalls, up here in Maine. This morning (Saturday) when I first looked outside, the yard is all green again, no snow in sight. That's-a some warm rain we had!
