We experienced our 3rd straight night of freezing low temps in Phoenix, with another one predicted tonight. Highs are in the 60s, but when that sun goes down? Brrrrr. Very unusual.
Fellow Coloradans, we're in for 50s and 60s along the Front Range this weekend, with a Chinook coming in today. Talking more snow NEXT weekend. Keeping it in the hills works for me.
It hasn't even started yet, unless you're talking about the 2014-2015 winter.
You beat me to it about Ohio. I was going to post "What winter around here ? I certainly don't see one in these parts of the country" and now Christmas is one week away and this unusual warmth is showing no signs of slowing down.
I live in the Charlotte, NC metropolitan area and I have never seen a winter this warm. It's been in the 70's for days and Christmas Day is suppose to be 75 degrees. Why can it not be like this every winter???
Days like this remind me to be even more thankful about where I live. Today we have what I'd call typical December weather here in northeast Texas - brilliant sunlight, a cold little breeze, but a high of about 55 degrees - and a big, wide expanse of the deepest bluest sky you can imagine. This morning was cold with a touch of frost.
Christmas day is supposed to be partly cloudy with a high in the mid-sixties. That's a bit too warm for my taste, especially for Christmas Day but at least the morning will be crisp and chilly.
A couple of years ago we had snow on Christmas Day but usually the high is in the 50's or so for most of December, especially the later part.
I expect plenty of ice and sleet and maybe even some snow from January through March, interspersed with brilliant sunshine that's so enticing you think you could go outside in a T-shirt - till you're actually out in it. But I admit that nearly every February, we get a warm snap that makes me drag a lawnchair into the middle of the yard and soak up the rays, sometimes even in shorts, before the next bout of ice and rain hits.
The forecasted low tonight is 30, which would make it the coldest night of the season so far and only our second night below 32 (we had a 31 degree low a couple of weeks ago). The chill will be short lived though. By mid week our LOWS will be in the mid to upper 50s. Lows.
Stick a fork in it, I guess I'll be waiting for "real Winter weather" next year.
