    First day of winter, officially. In SK, we've had winter weather since mid-October!



    Re-enactors from the Roman Deva Victrix 20th Legion parade through the city of Chester as they celebrate the ancient Roman festival of Saturnalia on December 20, 2012 in Chester, England. Saturnalia was the mid-winter feast when Romans commemorated the dedication of the temple of the god Saturn. Ancient Romans thought that celebrating Saturn would bring back the light and warmth of Summer. During the ancient festival there was a reversal of roles, with slaves wearing fine garments and sitting at the head of the table while they were waited upon by their masters.

    Happy first day of winter to you too.
    Last night, in The Shwa, we had high winds and freezing rain.
    Now, it's raining and the grass is green.

    Wow. I'm not missing that.
    Off to get my brakes worked on --- before we get our dumping of snow.

    Were supposed to get a mixed bag of weather today... first snow, then ice pellets, than finally rain.

    Sending warm thoughts to everyone out on the protest lines today, I hope all will be safe.

    Happy first day on winter everyone! To celebrate here in London, we have received our first snowfall of the season to coincide with the first day of winter...and now it's driving chaos out there as everyone learns to get their winter feet under them again.
