Back in the day, pipe-smoking crooner Bing Crosby spent a lot of time singing about white Christmases with Rosemary Clooney.
If he were alive today and residing in Oxford, he’d be dreaming about white Thanksgivings.
For the third time in four years, the season’s first accumulating snow fell on Thanksgiving.
Approximately three inches of heavy, wet white stuff blanketed the Oxford area to officially kick off the holiday season.
The snowfall was courtesy of a low pressure system that tracked northeast through the Ohio Valley Wednesday night and early Thanksgiving morning, according to the National Weather Service’s Detroit/Pontiac forecast office.
Residents awoke to a picture postcard winter morning to begin their day of parade watching, turkey munching and Lions losing.
Enjoy the winter’s majesty now because by mid-January everyone will be grouching about it.
