Where is winter?

[b5blue]

  Man it is still hot down here in Florida! Hot and muggy today with no end in sight. I heard it could still be in the mid 70's for N.Y. this Christmas? Is anybody getting the cool weather?
  I normally work on the Charger this time of year for the cooler temps but may end up sweating anyway this winter!  At least it's in the lower 80's even if damp still. Enjoy any cooler weather you may get!

Supposed to be 70 in Taxachusetts tomorrow & above normal temps right through New year.

You're complaining in Florida!!!!     12 C here today...  54F. Should have been ice fishing already in the past week or so and it should be -15 C or so. Saw 5 motorcycles while out Christmas shopping today.

My friend's dog is covered in ticks.... They should be long gone.  We are 70's and should be at Freezing.

Who cares?

We got it in the northwest this year. Record-breaking rainfall at sea level and gobs of snow in the mountains. The temperatures are pretty average.

The northeast got its a$$ handed to it the last two winters, you'd think they'd be happy for the break with a La Niña winter.

Having traveled to the Bahamas, Alaska, N.Y., all over the southeast and lived in Texas, Mississippi and Virgina I'll never complain about Florida itself, it's my home state. 35-40 years of construction work, mostly here I'm just tired of sweating! By now it's normally like having A/C running outside! (68-72 and low humidity) I've bunches of projects for outside not just the car and when done I can finally start taking vacations where I actually vacation instead of using time off from work, to work on personal things that need to be done. (I'm so close to that target!)

I don't mind the mild temp's here in georgia if it would just quit raining!!!!  Been raining for 5 days and looks like it's gonna rain for 5 more day's after today!!!

[XH29N0G]

Lots of rain too

[Mopar Nut]

We have plenty of snow here with temp. in the low 30's to the mid 20's in Northern Utah.

[adauto]

Personally I'm luv'n the warm temps, bit it has KILLED business this month.....

so how long until this turns into a "when will this %$##@snow end " thread

Denver had a white Christmas.  Snowed about an 1" yesterday.

[Dodge Don]

Just outside Toronto Canada....so nice I had the Charger out for a cruise Christmas Eve. No snow. Warm & sunny.....could not pass up the opportunity.

I heard a while back it was supposed to be an El Nino year. Anyone else hear that?

I heard a while back it was supposed to be an El Nino year. Anyone else hear that?

Yes it is.  For my area this can mean very warm or very snowy.  So far it means very warm.  From what I read, this is a doozy of one.  Basically, it  rearranges weather patterns in other areas.  I will take out the car if the rain stops.  It is plenty warm, but too wet, with flooding warnings.

I heard of El Ninio for the first time in 1998.  I didn't wear much more than a sweater that whole winter.
This winter feels the same.

[polywideblock]

do you think there might be something to this "global warming " their all talking about   

[XH29N0G]

There is something to global warming and climate change, but making a connection between today's warmth, el nino, and climate change though is probably not an argument to be made without a larger probabilistic argument that ties it with other phenomena and data.   I do not know the probability associated with such a connection. 

Since the climate is such a complex system, the arguments are made in terms of probability, even if the underlying physics and chemistry is well constrained.

Uh oh, I spoke too soon. Our first chance of snow is coming in on Tuesday.
