Whenever I hear the song "White Christmas" being played on the radio I think how inappropriate it is given that Christmas falls in summer here. The only chance we have of getting a white Christmas is if we have a really severe hailstorm and I certainly don't want one of those.
Today, however, we had a grey Christmas with soft rain falling for most of the day. I guess that's a gift in a country which has been stricken by drought for over a year now, but it did take some of the fun out of the day.
How was the weather in your part of the world this Christmas?

@marlina It does snow in Africa, more in some parts than others. My city very rarely gets snow, but it happens occasionally. It snowed just after I was born, so I didn't get to see it then. Next time was when I was about two, but we were visiting relations in another area at the time so we missed it. After that we didn't get snow again until I was 19.

@andriaperry That's pretty nice for a winter's day. It was colder than that here and tomorrow isn't likely to be much better.
