It is nice to have snow for Christmas. Here that is pretty common. Once the holidays are over, I get tired of the snow quickly.
How often do you have snow on the ground for Christmas Day?

In the past, we might see a few inches of snow once every five or ten years, and it most often arrived in February and March. But lately our winters are becoming unpredictable.
