"Christmas: Catch My Drift?'

"Drift" is right...this was shot yesterday in Montreal, which picked up 24" of snow in some places from the east coast storm...

Even with the hardships snow and ice bring, it also makes for great family fun...and a novel idea anymore in society, family exercise fun...

If looking at those pictures makes you feel cold, try on these 5am observations from Mount Washington, New Hampshire yesterday as the storm center cranked through:

SUSTAINED WIND SPEED: 103 mph
HIGHEST GUST: 116 mph
TEMPERATURE: minus 13 Fahrenheit

Alas, it's that time where folks talk and dream about having a "White Christmas" since we are now a week away. I know I shared this link last year, but I dug it back up as it's worth another look. May it bring a little lightness to your day!
