Snowflakes

I think we all agree that snowflakes are beautiful and for us in the northern hemisphere, Christmas is only complete with a fall of snow: not too much mind! not enough to disrupt the Christmas travelling, just enough to set the scene.

Here are some snowy scenes from my Christmas last year:





and next for your delight is the Waltz of the Snowflakes from the Nutcracker Suite. Enjoy.



What's the weather doing in your area today? Anyone have snow yet?

Nope, no snow here, although it's right there in the hills just a few miles away (and higher). We haven't even had any rain this December, so far! But I'm not complaining, just commenting. It can stay away for a bit longer for me. :-)

Star, I love snow too, in modest amounts! It doesn't snow where I live, is that shocking?
Thank you for the kind comment on the blog where I was interviewed.

In my part of the world (Australia) the only snow to be found is on the TV screen.Being Summer here it's a very hard thing to imagine a white Christmas.Our only weather concerns are whether it will be unbearably hot,or whether it will storm...or both.Fingers crossed for nice weather .-)

No snow but lots of mist and fog !
Last year we had snow on Christmas day, it was magical !
I read they were having 165 mile and hour gale force winds in England or maybe Scotland...how bazzar !

Nutcracker Suite is my favourite.
We don't have snow ... yet ... but it's flippin' cold. Definitely hat and scarf weather. I do like snow but only to look at through the window. Hope you have a great Christmas.

Forgot to say, I love the new Christmas blog.

It was downright balmy here in western NC today -- in the sixties. Love your new background and I adore the picture of the English robin.

It's nice today..but yesterday it rained..no..wait..that was the day before that. It rained on Monday..this is Wednesday! :) Today it was nice. Not cold..not warm. Nice. Southern California is like that. We are very spoiled..but of course there is the threat of earth quakes. :)
Hugs!!!
