El Nino is affecting us here in the UK too, this week the temperature hasn't dropped below about 12C / 54F and a couple of days the overnight low was 16C / 60F! Bonkers weather that's meant we haven't had the stove going all week... Compliments of the Season to you all.
Merry Christmas to you Mirkwood Jim, and God bless tiny Tim. We went five days last week with no fires as temps. here were just as warm. We will see how long this El Nino will be around, it's any ones guess.
A snowless Christmas is the norm here but it must be strange for you guys to be facing the same.. Just for once I'd love a white Christmas, it's certainly not going to be this year though. PS NH mountain man i'll pass on you regards to Tim ;-)
A white Christmas is the norm here but the forecast is for 53ºF, about 12C, this year so I look forward to a brown X-mas.
