No snow?


Anyone else catch that they are in Wisconsin on the 23rd of December and there isn't a bit of snow on the ground when they see the sleigh and 8 tiny reindeer?

I wondered if anyone else caught that! They're in Milwaukee in December and not only is there no snow, they barely wear coats and the trees still have full leaves. Drove me crazy the whole movie!

i said that to my mom......i do not live in the states....but, ok, that doesn't make me ignorant...lol..i know which states are supposed to have it, and which do not...i'm hello they are in wisconsin, in december, a totally northern state, and there's no snow..

yeah, ok, maybe they got side tracked...and thought that they actually were in toronto last year......lol.....that's where i live, and we hardly got any at all, we broke a 50 year old record in that department....with barely any snow at all, maybe 18 inches, the entire winter...and i'm sure that by the time they got around to filming it, it was all gone..but what i want to know about is who wrote the story in the first place to have actually put that into the movie....that a boy wishes for snow on christmas, on december 23, who lives in wisconsin......lol.....

yeah ok, i'd buy it if say he was in florida, or LA.....alabama, whatever...but wisconsin.....they should have said he was sick of it by then....lol

I've lived near Milwaukee my whole life, and I do remember one Christmas about 10 years ago, where it was in the 60's, and we went for a ride on our motorcycle! Though we usually DO have snow for Christmas - often for Thanksgiving as well, there have been years where there isn't snow on the ground.... but the deciduous trees are ALWAYS bare. lol! (Some oaks do retain their brown leaves until the new growth comes out in Spring.... always exceptions to the rules.... <g>)

Apparently they were foreshadowing the winter of 2011-2012, in which we barely got any snow in Wisconsin. Of course, we already made up for that this year by getting up to 16 inches in 1 day.

Of course, you can tell by looking at the trees that the movie was filmed around September.

They say they live in Wisconsin, but where is the actual filming location?
IMDB usually lists it, but not for this movie.
Under Country it says Canada and I think that's where most Christmas snow Movies are filmed [??]

also, one of the young boy's wishes....

It just wouldn't be Christmas without snow...

And Santa made it snow on Christmas Eve...

LOL... Just an update. It is now the night before the night before Christmas 2014 and it is 45 degrees, no snow and no jackets here in Milwaukee tonight...

I liked those 8 tiny reindeer. Good job Santa's sleigh has magic as I couldn't see those little darlings being able to pull very much.
