How warm is it in your area ????

[SamKnause]

It is currently 70 degrees in Seaman, Ohio.

I have all the windows open and it is 72 degrees in my house.

My lilacs are budding.

My yard is filled with wild violets.

I have seen a few dandelions, some yellow, some heads of seeds.

My grass is green and growing rapidly.

It is hard to believe it is December 12th when I don't need a coat, sweater,

or jacket to go outside.

[cwydro]

1. 73 in NC.

Time for a walk. Too pretty to be inside.

[hobbit709]

2. 73° and drizzling

[KG]

3. 80ish, st pete fl.

[onethatcares]

49. I'm here too

and I don't like this 80ish in December. It's thrown the garden plans out the window.

[greatauntoftriplets]

4. Currently 55 in Chicago.

[shraby]

5. Manitowoc county, WI has 43 degrees and overcast.

No snow on the ground.

[enough]

6. 65 degrees Chester County southeastern PA

Quite disorienting.

[BlueJazz]

7. "bout 85 here in Sarasota, Florida. Was out painting my observatory for 2 hours then thought..

..."Maybe I should mow the lawn". At that moment logical thinking took over and I'm eating and DUing and plan to watch the lawn grow.

[hlthe2b]

8. 30's & light snow, Colorado

As it should be....

I already walked 4 1/2 miles this morning with the dog and will go a little further this pm. I like light snow when the wind isn't blowing.

[inanna]

9. Southwestern Ontario, Canada

Temps are way higher than normal. Only one light snowfall so far. I'm walking around in a hoodie. It seems a bit windier than normal as well.

[hedgehog]

38. I'm in a hoodie in Upstate New York at the other end of Lake Ontario

The extended forecast, for what it's worth, shows we won't have freezing temps for more than 24 hours at a time until Late January!

We're due for some strong winds Monday.

[No Vested Interest]

10. 71 and bright in Cincinnati!

Guess I'll turn off the heat for a few hours.

Only going down to mid-50's tonight; tomorrow will be the same - warm, slight chance of a shower.
I'm loving it.

[WhiteTara]

11. 70 in NW Arkansas

with lows tonight in the mid 60s...but weather is coming in and it should be in the 40s later this week.

[NRaleighLiberal]

12. mid 70s in Raleigh NC. Dinner then a nice walk tonight!

I've never had live tomato plants growing in my driveway this late into the year!

[Dale Neiburg]

13. 70 in DC (nt)

[MillennialDem]

14. Upper 40s in Wisconsin. Supposed to push 60 tomorrow.

EDIT: Today is 12 degrees warmer than the average high and 20 degrees warmer than the average low. Tomorrow is even more extreme, obviously.

No climate change though. None at all!

[haikugal]

15. 64 degrees on the boarder of Cumberland/Franklin counties PA.

Very unusual.

[a la izquierda]

16. Upper 60s in Morgantown, WV

Weird as hell. All the windows in my house are open. My dogs seem pleased. I wore flip-flops out to yoga this morning. I'm a bit concerned, and I'm happy I didn't plunk down $400 for snow tires just yet.

[hedgehog]

39. It's a trap!

Better be ready for at least one hellacious snow storm and/or ice storm!

[a la izquierda]

43. Yeah, I'm sure we'll get hammered in March...

I actually hate this kind of weather during the winter. My allergies go crazy and normally the winter months are a bit of a break from 9 months of nasal misery.

[stage left]

17. Here in Greenville, SC

it's 73 and partly cloudy. Saw a couple of yellow butterflies out on the camellias this morning after the fog burned off and noticed that the daffodils I planted last month have poked a few green tips through the earth. Taking the dog for a nice long walk in a minute or two.

[rollin74]

18. 38 degrees. Reno, Nevada area

mostly cloudy. got a little snow 2 nights ago

[Kaleva]

19. I live in Upper Michigan and there's no snow on the yard.

[onehandle]

23. Yep. 68 here. A squadron of fighter jets just flew over from the game. nt

[underpants]

32. 74 right now in Richmond Va

I'm back in my summer shorts.

[mnhtnbb]

22. 73 degrees right now in Chapel Hill, NC. Historic monthly high average for Dec: 53 degrees

[redstateblues]

24. 68 in Nashville. Yesterday 72

[Frustratedlady]

25. It is presently 63 degrees at 2:30 pm in southern Iowa...

This week, I've seen several people in Bermudas and tank tops. When the sun is setting, though...it cools down pretty darned fast.

[riversedge]

26. Much warmer. I have noticed the sap from the maple trees last

several days--they bark is coated. This is not good. No ice fishing, no cross country skiing --and no ice skating -which we usually do by now

27. Seattle area...been in the 40's & 50's all week...

Rainy, and the warmer weather melted snow pack from a week or so ago, so flooding. Lots of flooding.

[RandySF]

28. Sounds like tornado weather.

[Quixote1818]

29. It's only 44 here in Albuquerque with rain and snow on the mountains. nt

[NaturalHigh]

30. 70 degrees here in Oklahoma...

but we have a major cold front moving in tonight. It's supposed to be cold and raining tomorrow.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

31. 45 and raining in SW Washington

[Doctor_J]

33. se mi 63 deg.

Neighbors tulips came up. Whoops

[Warpy]

34. Barely chugging up to 40 here in the high desert in NM

and it will be heading your way soon, probably with some heavy weather ahead of it. It still won't be down to "normal" temperatures, whatever normal is these days.

[Habibi]

35. 50 here in Rochester, NY

Supposed to be up to 60 on Monday, with continued mild throughout next week.

I'm not complaining, as my work commute is 70 miles RT on some days right now, but it's -- pretty strange.

[smirkymonkey]

40. Wow, I am originally from upstate NY and that is unheard of this

time of year! Very unusual.

[Habibi]

46. Today it got up to 70!

[B Calm]

36. 63 degrees in Northern Indiana. Be nice if it would stay this way all winter.

[jwirr]

37. 37 degrees in NE MN.

[WCIL]

41. 68 degrees in Central Illinois

I helped at a library party today, and some of the children were wearing sandals. The average December high is 38.

[laundry_queen]

42. Seasonal temps today

but it's been warmer than average until this last week. We had almost no snow at all until last week. I'm in Edmonton Alberta so pretty far north. Until last week our temps had been well above freezing every day - nearly 20 degrees Celsius above normal. This week it's been seasonal...with some snow. So at least we will have snow for Christmas. Unless a strong Chinook comes through between now and then...I do remember brown Christmases from my childhood because of those pesky Chinooks which are definitely stronger during El Nino years.

[LiberalElite]

44. Lower 60s in NYC -

this is around 20 degrees above normal. Next week is expected to be only 10 degrees above normal. Remembering last year when the temps in December felt like January; January felt like January on steroids; February felt like January; and March felt like February, I'll take the lower 60s now TY.

[Tree-Hugger]

45. About 70

Just under 70°F in the Philly burbs. Slept with windows open last night. Dandelions are popping up on the lawn.

So weird.

[Vinca]

47. Southern NH - 50 degrees at 5 p.m.

The 10 day forecast looks like 60 on Christmas Eve. Part of me loves global warming.

[HereSince1628]

48. low 60's this afternoon...tomorrow morning ~35F then hi of 27F Friday.

Maybe the ground will freeze soon and I can get back to pick up my tree cuttings... I traded trimming branches overhanging 2 fields for the firewood ~3/4 mile of fence row, and it's too muddy for hwy tires to get in to haul it out.

[maveric]

50. 63 and freezing.

In San Diego.

[peacebird]

51. Cherry trees are in bloom in Charlottesville, Virginia

My perennials noses are up, forsythia is blooming. Been in the low 70s for highs the past couple weeks.

[Octafish]

52. Detroit hit 58 today.

Old men walking around in shorts...

[orpupilofnature57]

53. Trees are re-budding in up-state NY, I had been XC-Skiing for 2 weeks last year .

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

54. Current temp at 6:30 PM EST is 42 F.

It has been warmer than usual for the past couple months here in Maine. Anything above freezing is t-shirt and shorts weather around here. My kids are supposed to start x-country ski lessons right after the New Year so I'm hoping we get some snow before then. We haven't had any yet in my area.

[RebelOne]

55. In the high 60s and low 70s here in north Georgia. n/t

[Blue_In_AK]

56. It's 25 in Anchorage.

Fairly normal for this time of year, but we don't have much snow. It seems like after every snowstorm it warms up enough to melt most of it. It never used to be like this.

[tularetom]

57. 48 in the CA Sierra foothills

Headed for the high 20's tonight.

[tazkcmo]

58. Mid 70's, sunny

San Antonio, TX. Normal weather

[randr]

59. You are in the calm before the storm

Big ass winter has reared its head here in W. Colorado. Slowly closing in all day with increasing snow and temps falling. The storm is predicted to blast across the country and leave a blanket of winter along the way over the next 3 to 4 days.

[DeadLetterOffice]

67. Which will make upstate NY & NE skiing industry very happy.

Since it's currently 60 and thunder-storming. Ski resorts up here are taking a beating....

[olddots]

60. 57 in L.A.

62 in our house ,the dogs are wearing their sweaters .

[bluedigger]

61. Did you mean to ask "How much snow are you getting?"

About 3" so far, but it should last well into the night here in the Four Corners.

[Phentex]

62. Too warm!

We have lots of stuff blooming again. Hard to get in the holiday spirit like this.

[marlakay]

63. 44 in northern CA on the coast

Very stormy and rainy for days.

[Delmette]

64. 25 in Helena, Mt

I just finished shoveling 6 inches of snow off my driveway.

[cherokeeprogressive]

65. It got to 22 degrees here in So. Cal. today.

[grntuscarora]

66. At what point can weather be identified as climate?

It's in the 60's here in central PA, my daffodils are coming up, and I'm still picking ticks off my dogs.
When I mentioned "effects of climate change" to my s.o., I was told me to "stop confusing weather and climate" like the republicans always do.
Which made me wonder, at what point can I point to local weather events and make a connection with climate?
[I always hate when climate change deniers use the first snowfall to scorn climate science--I don't want to do the same in reverse.]
But the weather here is getting really creepy.

[longship]

68. It got into the mid 50's today.

But a cold front came through late afternoon. It is still unseasonably warm. We're supposed to get a trace of snow midweek, but Christmas is going to be wet, not white.

Rural west Michigan.

[Art_from_Ark]

69. 60 degrees in Tokyo

and there is autumn foliage.

[HuckleB]

70. It's actually closer to normal here, this year, after the last two warm winters.

While you folks were getting pounded with snow, we were mowing lawns in early February in the Northwest. Hopefully, the snowpack replenishment will continue.

Still, the weather patterns are continuing with more and more extremes, or so it seems.

[Marrah_G]

71. 11 pm 60 degrees, Providence RI

Should be getting colder later in the week with some lows around 30.

[romanic]

72. It's in the upper 40s right now here in SE Michigan.

IT was close to 60 in some places I think, though the city I live it was upper 50s with high winds at times. Last Christmas season was a bit warm with little snow that came and melted; and this was after two winters with a lot of snow and that polar vortex that made us absolutely miserable. I think Michigan Winters are going to be one ends of the extreme (little snow and warm to too much snow and bitterly cold).

[rufus dog]

73. 41 degrees in the OC

Chilly

[ileus]

74. Not warm enough.

The bass are still treating it like winter...the bite is really slow.

[B Calm]

75. Jig and Pig

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

76. Over here near Cinci/Dayton

it was only 60sish, and I'm still hoping some of the crocuses will bloom before winter hits, if it ever does this year. But a number of the trees and bushes have rebudded, and will lose energy they should be storing up to get through winter. We had the windows open a lot the last couple of days.

[kcr]

77. It's been in the 60s where I live in the NE

Trees are trying to bloom.
