I’m tempted to turn on the AC. It got up to 75 today. Hot short days. Very strange.
I wore my FLIP FLOPS today.
The Warmest Christmas Eve the East Coast Has Ever Seen
It’s not just in the South.
Factoid:
In New York, the forecast high temperature of 74 degrees on Thursday is just 1 degree Fahrenheit shy of the actual high temperature on July 4, 2015, the National Weather Service said.
Can you stand it? Yesterday when I took my little break from cooking the Christmas feast it was too HOT and HUMID to sit outside on the front porch…..in DECEMBER!!

We here in the Northeastern US have been lucky that our weather extreme was just unusually warm weather. The storms and tornadoes down South and the wildfires in CA that I saw on the news were terrifying.

Unfortunately (for me anyways) our Xmas was green. đŸ˜¦ It shouldn’t bother me bc I am Jewish but at this time LAST year it was snowing. I think God jipped us.

You might–it’s not supposed to get cold any time soon. We get a lot more rain here than they get in SanFran though I think.

Wow, 70s and 80s in North Carolina in December?? Here in New Mexico our temps are down in the teens and we are in the middle of a 3-day blizzard. Until a few hours ago, our entire town had no electricity for 21 hours. Snow drifts outside are higher than my head. I was seriously afraid we would freeze to death, before we remembered that our stove runs on gas and does not require electricity to operate! Although keeping the gas oven turned on only got the temperature inside the house back up to the low 50s, it kept us alive!!

Look at the map I linked in the “It’s Hot” article. The heat wave is over the whole eastern half of the country, and Canada too!

I just looked at the weather map. That is so bizarre.
Here in New Mexico we did have a high of about 60 degrees on Christmas day. But the day after, it only got to the low 33 I think it was, and today it only got up to 25. Tonight’s temps are supposed to go down to the single digits. Brrrr.

Our average this time of year is a high of 52 and a low of 24, according to Accuweather. Today our high was only 45. Not as high as normal, but still a lot better than a week ago.
I live where the high plains and the high desert meet. Because our altitude is over 4,000 feet, our temps are a lot cooler than one would expect, considering how far south we live.
