December warmest in Texas in 130 years

BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Last month Texas experienced its warmest December on record since 1889, said John Nielsen-Gammon, a regents professor of atmospheric sciences at Texas A&M University who also serves as the state climatologist.

From Dallas through Abilene to Del Rio, temperatures averaged 5 to 9 degrees above normal, making it the warmest December in more than 130 years.

"It's like the entire state moved south for the winter," said Nielsen-Gammon. "Amarillo got Dallas's normal temperatures, Dallas got Corpus Christi's normal temperatures, and Austin got Brownsville's normal temperatures.

"Not only is it by far the warmest December since the beginning of comprehensive weather records, it will probably also turn out to be the warmest winter month, period," said Nielsen-Gammon.

Literally the warmest Christmas Eve and day ever. And fucking windy on top of it too. The wind and warmth literally made it miserable both days.
