    My city is expecting the first rainy Christmas in recorded history. The Earth is so screwed.

    My best Christmas ever was in Belgium. We were supposed to go to Germany for the day to visit distant relatives. A blizzard closed everything and instead I got to stay in a bathrobe and read.

    Now I would have to go and pack a bathing costume. I am not a fan of climate change.

      It’s storming and 60 degrees where I live.

      It should be cold and snowing.

      I’m glad I never had kids. Can’t imagine how bad it’s going to be in a decade or two when the shit really hits the fan.

      January and February is when it normally gets cold here.

      People like to pretend that Christmas was a time of snow and ice, but that’s pretty rare. Dickens wrote about them, but his childhood coincided with the coldest decade in over a century.

        Lived in my city for 37 years. Never had a “brown Christmas” until this year. It has also been above freezing every day this winter. Not the norm.

    11 in my neck of Tokyo. The last few nights have dipped below freezing, however. This probably isn’t super weird for the time of year here, however. Going up to visit the inlaws for the end of the year, and it’s currently 0 up there. Last year, I think we hit -15 whilst we were there, but this year it looks like the low is going to be freezing (which is rather warm for northeastern Japan in December).

        24° is the sweet spot for me but anything under 30° is fine for me if it’s a dry heat.

          I’m in northern Canada, we got about a week of 30C weather and I had a fan pointed at me 24/7 and took cold showers every few hours to stay sane. Crazy how everyone acclimates to different temperatures across the world.

    Where I live in the USA, that’s not a particularly unusual day time high for this time of year. I always like when it’s not bitterly cold at Christmas and New Years, and some of my favorite childhood Christmases/holidays were spent in shorts and t-shirts. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced snow on Christmas, perhaps a flurry at best around New Year’s Eve is the most I can recall off the top of my head.

    Granted, I live some place where that’s been the norm for the past such and such number of decades since the age of the brontosaurus which is what they were called back then.

      I definitely see a shift where I live in the US (Northeast). We used to get snow that stuck in November and it carried us through to March or April. Now we will get some flurries but nothing really sticks until January. The overall length remains the same, but it seems shifted by a month or two
