Yesterday it got up to 71 here in DC, and for the next week the highs are going to be in the fifties and sixties. What's happening is we got a jet stream that shifted such that we are now getting warm weather from the Gulf of Mexico. Needless to say, there's no snow coming in the near feature...
Three days before Christmas Eve, it started sleeting, then snowing! It hardly ever snows here! We usually can only expect sleet and ice, which usually gives us a day, sometimes even week, of no school. But this is the first in a long while that either has happened before Christmas. Gave this town about an inch or so. Hey, I didn't say it was ever much! One year, when I was about eight, it did snow about six inches or more. Those were the good ol' days! Yeah, anyway, I was happy we had snow. When we went up to Little Rock, they had about four or five inches of snow in some places. But it was a horror to have to drive(or ride, since I wasn't the one driving) behind these people who didn't know how to drive on ice and where riding their breaks or going stupidly slow. 
Good lesson, though. We had fun counting how many cars were off the rode, and, in two cases, on the rode. *sigh* Our snow was completely melted in our town by Christmas, though, and now it's been raining off-and-on since Saturday, maybe Sunday. So, it was in the 30s and 40s(F) on Christmas, now it's in the 60s or 70s.

In Britain, it's just gloomy, a bit damp, a bit cold, a bit dark. It's not actually anything! It's so infuriating, I wish we would get some real weather. We have two days of snow and it went pretty quick.
I bet you ten...dollars...than when I get back to school it snows when I'm in lessons.
