the_other_guy Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 If you were a betting man in September, would you put your money on xmas day in NYC having a temp with a 5 or a 3 as the front digit? I would go with the 5. And scarily, I would say the 3 is the longshot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowshack Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 It’s funny because the average daily high starts with a 3 by Christmas, but it sure feels like a 5 is the better bet. Hopefully the cold front is real and gets through here before Christmas Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what the Thanksgiving day average temp compared to the subsequent Christmas day average temp is over the past 25 years. Seems like Thanksgiving manages to be crisper/cooler than normal while Christmas tends to be damp and above normal. Could just be perception though..

Seems like Thanksgiving manages to be crisper/cooler than normal while Christmas tends to be damp and above normal. Could just be perception though.. My thoughts as well. Regular parade goer so weather is always a factor. There has been one ridiculously warm thanksgiving over last 20 years (sometime in early 2000s), one ridiculously frigid thanksgiving (also in early 2000s), one day with snow on ground (late 80s), one rain day (the year after the cat in the hat debacle), one actively snowing day (3 years ago). Not one day when balloons were grounded with new wind restrictions. Most years feature a seasonally cold to just above normal day. Cant say the same about xmas in that time period.

RU848789 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Hey, doesn't @uncle Wdo those "almanac" threads for each day of the year/winter? Is there one for 12/25? Searched and found one of his posts in a thread on this with all the snowfall stats, but was wondering if there was a thread on it. Thanks...

Perceptions part of it - 50 still feels cool at thanksgiving, while it’s a torch at Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Honestly I'd prefer 50. Christmas day all of the mt bike trails are empty and it's a pleasure being out in the woods so a warm day is a bonus. That 65 degree XMas eve and warm XMas day was really wonderful. Nobody around and riding in t-shirts = 2 thumbs up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was so cold it started sticking immediately and was a very dry high ratio snow. I'd take winter 1898-99 over any of the others though ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIK62 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Let's face it. Dallas, TX actually has a better chance at a white Christmas than we do. We will be in the 30's at some point during the day and snow to follow on Boxer Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
