Christmas Day, 2021.  The rain and sleet turned to snow about 4 o’clock this morning, and I awoke in the sudden silence.  It’s always an eerie shift when the noise of the storm drops out but the precipitation continues.  In the dim light I can see that little build-up has happened, but perhaps enough that we can deem this a white Christmas.
