This painting provides a good semblance of "white December 23rd" in my neck of the woods.
I have been yearning for a white Christmas since moving to northwestern Hungary over eight years ago, and the weather has disappointed every year. This Christmas is shaping up to continue the tradition of relatively warm and rainy December 25ths. However, we did have a white December 23rd this year, which is better than nothing, I suppose.
Although the forecast called for rain all day yesterday, the precipitation turned to snow last night, leaving a handsome blanket of snow that remained on the ground today. We even had a lovely snowfall with big, fluffy snowflakes in the afternoon, but by evening, it turned to rain again. The meteorologists are predicting temperatures of twelve degrees Celsius tomorrow and thirteen degrees for Christmas Day, which will certainly melt all the snow that fell today.
Aw well. There is always next year. Still, it was nice to see a white landscape, even it was a couple of days before it would have been even nicer to see it.
