Last year on Christmas Eve Day, I went out to Lake of the Isles and shot some pictures of ice skaters and even made a QuickTime VR movie of the scene. It was one of those shiny bright winter days belying the fact that the temps were sub-freezing. In fact, my camera stopped taking pictures due to the extreme cold air.
This year the weather in freakishly warm (well above freezing) and instead of ice-covered lakes and snowy cold, we've got grass still green and a gentle rain before the dawn. Now, granted I am in another state today, but still, we should have just a little covering of snow to get us in the holiday spirit! Instead, I took 's dog out running with me this morning and brought back a small fuzzy-mud piglet. Merry Christmas!
And I'll do my very best to avoid situations such as this embarrassment from last year.
