Lyn, we had an amazingly warm December. Here in DC, it was 11 degrees above average for the month, which broke the old record by several degrees.
We regularly had highs in the 60s and 70s, which is just ridiculous for December. I think we had only a couple of days with lows that were below freezing.
It's now seasonably cold, but Sunday was pretty mild and sunny at 54*. It's definitely too cold today!
