It has been well-documented on this blog that my greatest of Weather Nemesis is Wind. I hate the wind. Hate. It. There pretty much isn’t anygood reason for wind. And I’m not talking about a breeze here. I mean WIND. The kind that rips downs fences and threatens my sanity.
We’ve had an awful lot of wind lately. And, frankly, it’s starting to piss me off. Because behind that wind has been a great potential for snow. But as long as the wind is here, the snows right over the top of us and heads for parts east. Around here, they call it a “rain shadow“. I call it “a tease”:
See that there? That’s what the radar looks like RIGHT NOW. And will we actually see the snow here in Reno. NOPE. I will BET YOU. Damnit.
See, I’ve been reading on everyone’s blogs about all the snow they’ve been getting and more than a little jealous. I want to have a disgusting amount of snow too! I deserve a white Christmas too, don’t I? It’s not FAIR!
We’re supposed to have some snow in the next couple of days. There was supposed to be snow today but… yeah, not so much. MAYBE later? I’ll hold my breath. But here is the forcast for the next few days:
And that’s backed off quite a bit from what it said before, which was also AM Snow tomorrow and snow on Friday (which I was really, really counting on). But at the very LEAST can’t I get some snow on Wednesday and Thursday? For Christmas? Pretty, pretty please?

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
At least you have a chance of snow on Christmas- it’s supposed to be 55 degrees here on Christmas Day. (Despite the fact that the wind chill is about10 degrees today!) If we do get snow here in Virginia, it usually comes in January or March. Enjoy the snow if you get some!
Well, Marilyn, you know that I don’t share your appreciation of snow. I hate it. I hate being cold more than just about anything. The only reason I want any snow at all, is to see Elizabeth react to it. That’s it. Then it can go away and never come back. Luckily for me, we haven’t gotten any real snow (knock on wood) here.
I also hate the wind. It makes the cold just cut through you!
I will keep my fingers crossed that you get snow, especially on Thursday!
It’s been so cold here (Denver) that our snow from last week hasn’t melted but we might get some fresh stuff before the 25th.
Amazing how quickly the novelty wears off, though!
I’m sorry to rub it in but we have 2 feet of snow up here and I’m thrilled to not have to shovel for three weeks while in NV! I’ll try to bring you a teensie bit with me though!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
