Have had to content myself with snowy pics from siblings in PT and Marrowstone. I'm in NE Colorado, where this year's white Christmas is the first in many years. Otherwise, coffee would be great!

We had a white Christmas in December '08 (an exceptionally snowy month in the Seattle area), and I think it snowed on Christmas the following year too. (After reading the link above, maybe it was the year before. I do recall having white Christmases two years in a row.)

not a whole lot.
One time it snowed the night after Christmas.
In 1990s there was a wicked ice storm December 26, (96)
Did a lot of tree damage.
At lease one snowfall by Christmas morning because my son and I walked up to my parents house in it...
a couple years ago it snowed for 1 hour on Christmas Day...
One windstorm that killed the electricity on Christmas eve for hours in the 80s...
Usual weather...... rain and 40s temps.

All I can remember is a really icy one in the 90s. I decided to drive to Olympia on a sheet of ice at night. Stupid move.

There were probably more but ???
