Re: Strange December weather

 It is caused by a strong El Niño this winter. The areas that are usually. Cold and snow will be mild and warmer areas like the southwest, where we winter wil be cooler and wetter.  This was predicted bu the national weather service in the Fall

We've already had a little snow a couple of times,  has been very cold and there's a big storm predicted for this week-end.   How much we get depends on the track it takes.  I hope we get a lot as I love snow and don't need to go out. 

 

I hear it has even been much warmer than normal in Europe.

Flood watch here in Georgia with possible severe storms tonight and tomorrow.  Hope Santa's Reindeers can dodge the lightning show.  I earned my presents this year.   Smiley Very Happy

Rainy and muggy in DC with more of a warmup on the way. Personally, I dislike it. Late fall almost in its entirety was more like spring than winter and while I like spring, I like it when it's supposed to be spring. It's been very wet and intermittently warm around here and it's not remotely seasonal or festive. Personally, I'd have rather had snow than more of this mess.

I am loving this "warm" December weather in NJ. Heart

I know it will come to a stop soon and we will be back to reality. Smiley Sad

Here in the south our daffodils did come up. I miss cooler temps at Christmas. My brother said it's 65 in NJ and they're ok w/that.

If you're in the minority, I'm in there with ya!  I LOVE winter, I LOVE cold weather and I LOVE LOVE LOVE snow!  This weather is really bumming me out.

 

I like thunderstorms during the summer, I can do without them now.  I have 2 dogs that are terrified of thunderstorms and I've tried EVERYTHING from thundershirts and behavioral training to natural anti-anxiety supplments and on to prescription meds - nothing really helps them except the storm ending.

It's 65 degrees here in KY and raining buckets with thunder but I'll take that over snow!

We've had thunderstorms on and off all day.

 

Better than snow.  Sorry.  LOL
