Merry White Christmas from Atlanta

[oldngray]

75 & 74 the last 2 years.
37 with 20 mph winds.
Brisk.

Brass Monkey freezing?

 

[OrioN]

All the darn weathermen lied .
Woke up to a covering of snow , hopefully the heavy winds expected will blow my vehicles clean by tomorrow .

Didn't know that the strong winds would carry the lake effect snow storm to the coast... that sucks for any of you who will Brown UP or purple up Tuesday

Snowed for about 5 minutes here today

Brass Monkey freezing?

Not that cold and besides, I don't have any cannonballs to stack.

 

[What The Hawk?]

White Christmas in WA too! Very odd!

The story goes that cannonballs used to be stored aboard ship in piles, on a brassframe or tray called a 'monkey'. In very cold weather the brass would contract, spilling the cannonballs: hence very cold weather is 'cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey'.

Cannonballs are in your wife's purse?

Some people, very smart people, say that is a FAKE STORY.

Butt if that's what you want to go with...it's keeping true to theme, so you have that going for you.

They didn't-----they are two separate storms.
