    Quoting historical records is not going to help you on this.

    Damn math...

    Christmas weather records in D.C. likely to be toppled in freakishly mild December

    In D.C., the average temperature during the two warmest Decembers on record was 45.6 degrees (1889 and 1984). The projected average temperature by the end of this December, due to the remarkably warm final days, is around 50 or 51 degrees. That is about ten degrees above average – a huge anomaly over an entire month.

    Beating the average record by five degrees is insane.

    Maybe not blizzards -- mainly because the energy is usually sapped from the atmosphere before the snow can move in -- but a strong line of storms and a 40- and 50-degree temperature drop in a span of 24 hours is not an uncommon phenomenon this time of year in Texas or along the Gulf Coast.
    In fact, the possibility of tornadoes is the real reason people here shit their pants when it's 80 degrees in December. Not climate change.

    In North Texas, I can tell you with 90-plus percent accuracy what the weather will be every day from mid-May to mid-September -- dry and hot as hell. The other eight months, there is no telling. It can be 85 or 15, with sun, rain, hail, ice or snow, often within a day of each other.

    That's why they used the word "historic"I guess.

    In Oklahoma the other day they had a blizzard warning, winter weather warning, winter weather watch, thunderstorm warning, thunderstorm watch, tornado warning, tornado watch, flood warning and flood watch all happening at the same time in different parts of the state. The next day they had earthquakes.
