Quick Vermont Christmas Update: Some Power Outages Linger, But Santa Bringing No New Scary Things

Merry Christmas, everyone! 
 The bad news is about 22,000 customers still had no power in Vermont as of 4:30 p.m. Christmas Eve after yesterday's extreme storm. 

The good news is crews are working during the holiday to restore power. And there's no really scary weather coming to Vermont for the Christmas holiday.

Vermont Emergency Management has a list of warming centers if you need them.  Don't be shy going to them. That's what they're there for. 

Main highways in Vermont late this afternoon were in pretty good shape, having been cleaned up nicely from last evening's flash freeze and burst of heavy snow.  At least that's what Vermont's network of traffic cameras shows.  I'm sure some back roads are icy, as are many sidewalks, so be careful! 

Yeah, it's still cold and windy out there, and you'll have to bundle up if you're out Christmas caroling,

Temperatures won't fall too much tonight, bottoming out in the single digits. Gusty winds will keep the wind chill below zero.

Christmas day itself will be pretty nice, relatively speaking. Most of us will see highs in the low 20s, the wind will have died down somewhat and there might even be some glimpses of sun. 

I had another non-weather related blog in the past that I have let go dormant, at least for now. Every year, I had a tradition to give everyone a Christmas greeting. It consists of a recent video of Darlene Love doing her famous "Christmas Baby, Please Come Home."  

This is a clip from the end of a recent concert she performed in Englewood, New Jersey. Merry Christmas to one and all and I hope Santa brings you everything you need.  If you don't see the image of the video below, click on this link.
