I'd say we've accumulated at least 1" on the lawns. The streets are still not snowy, of course, since they're still warm; the thermometer is barely below freezing.  The wind is incredible. Snow is blowing like nobody's business, and it's sheeting off the roofs in the gusts. So gusty!  The wind chill is 19 degrees.

My crazy brothers suited up in all their wool stuff (and a couple of rabbit skins for good measure) and tossed a football around at the park. They said the snow really hurt their faces when it blew straight on, and their cheeks were pretty red.

It's a good thing I went antiquing earlier in the day; there are a lot of accidents out there, including one a five-minute walk from where I sit right now.

... I still can't get over this. Not only is it the heaviest snowfall I remember since I was a little girl, it's on Christmas Eve.  And it certainly won't go away during the night.  So I think* we'll actually have the first white Christmas in 83 years. At least until the sun comes up and melts it all. :p
