Above: Don't get excited: this photo's from 2007. Maybe if we post enough pictures of the white stuff Mama Nature will get the hint that we (and Belleayre and Windham and Hunter and Plattekill) are ready for winter to get started! Photo by Flickr user MccWolf in the Watershed Post Flickr pool.
From the window, I can see that while the eastern bureau of the WP got deluged in rain, the northern Catskills appeared to get some snow in the higher elevations. The Weather Channel is predicting scattered snow showers across the region between now and Christmas day. Cross your fingers while you're wrapping presents. Here's what's going on around the area blogs.

- The PBA brings holiday cheer (AND TOYS) to some deserving Fallsburg children.
- Tannersville real estate-themed eye candy today over at Upstater. Methinks those gardens probably aren't so green now, but snow-capped they'd look lovely, too. Give the gift to yourself of Greene County.
