@Langile A short video from late afternoon (close to sunset) of Dec 24- after I washed the floors and showered, and before I started cooking! It was around -21c/-6F and snowing lightly but not windy, so it wasn't bad. First of 3 shorts - the next two show pretty frost and light on Dec 25-- stilll working on those..

First video of 3 for Christmas-- this one is views of snowy dusk on the acreage, then frost Christmas morning and golden frosty views near sunset in the next two! For me the focus of interest and meaning in the winter holiday season is the Winter Solstice. However, Christmas still ends up getting attention and action, since that is the primary cultural focus here. That means that's likely to mean time off from work (this year I would not have been working for Christmas anyway, as it was mid-week, but I did have to work on the Solstice), availability (and sales!) of special foods and treats, gift cards from work (to buy those treats!)-- etc etc. So I notice the Solstice, take photos, send greetings online and so on, but whether I do more will be dictated by schedules and so on. Christmas on the other hand will be when I make a special meal (Christmas Eve, if I don't work that day, since that's the proper time from my childhoold- from Mom's Latvian upbringing, maybe? Christmas Eve was more serious, Christmas Day was always more just time to open presents, relax, secondary meals and treats).. This year I spent time in the afternoon of Christmas Eve washing the floors, then showered and went out for a bit of fresh air and excercise before cooking (vegetarian meal, as always). It was around -21C/-6F, snowing lightly, luckily no wind to speak of, so it wasn't bad.. I just had a little walkabout and views on the acreage.

haha- that's why each clip is so short, and I still use stabilising software, since I have an old DSLR it doesn't do that like new phone cameras and other fancy ones! It has got whiter each day, though this morning was also windy, so I think the trees lost their coats..
@MigsGarden It's been a bit odd-- these are quite low (though not record) temperatures for day time for us, but we have not had the deep cold nights (-30 to -40, which is the same in C/F) which would normally go with those days... not complaining...lol Looks like a several day warm up Sunday through Tues, if it comes true..lol How did you make out with the crazy weather down there?
We have had steady and sometimes heavy rain since Christmas Eve, but looks like it is clearing by tomorrow. We even had a tornado alert in my area on Christmas Eve. It was downgraded to a heavy wind event, causing some tree limbs to come down in the neighborhood, but there was no damage to homes or people. However, Wrightwood, one of our mountain communities has suffered severe mud and debris flow with lots of damage. Looking forward to seeing the sun again!
