I took the pic today. It is the warmest 24th here [Central Europe] since
records began 60 years ago. It's definitely not what we are used to
think of an ideal Christmas weatherwise. So I chose a subject that
features both, the unusual weather, and something that reminds at least
a bit of a snowflake.

Best one yet!

Here on the east coast of the USA we've had 2 years in a row of extreme
tree destruction. One more year and I think all our Tulip Poplars might
be gone.

We had an unexpected load of snow already once at the end of October
which broke off a thick branch of one of my apple trees and a plum tree
as a whole! [... admittedly these were very old trees] In general we are
not so happy with mild winters, because there can be frosts until
mid-May and when the winters are rather warm, the trees will bloom very
early and then be caught by the cold. To prevent trees from early
sprouting the trunks are even sometimes painted white, so that the warm
sunrays in Spring are reflected and cannot be absorbed. I'm speaking of
48° latitude north and continental climate.

Best wishes, and Merry Christmas!

All OK now, though being without electricity and phones for 3 days,
plus being cut off by floods, made life interesting for a few days. :-)

I was wondering if it had affected you. I am glad no damage was done.
