Where I live in the USA, that's not a particularly unusual day time high for this time of year. I always like when it's not bitterly cold at Christmas and New Years, and some of my favorite childhood Christmases/holidays were spent in shorts and t-shirts. I don't think I've ever experienced snow on Christmas, perhaps a flurry at best around New Year's Eve is the most I can recall off the top of my head.

Granted, I live some place where that's been the norm for the past such and such number of decades since the age of the brontosaurus which is what they were called back then.

I feel bad for you, hope you have a nice Christmas anyways. But here (Gutenberg, Sweden) we have ~0°C and snow outside. That's not exceptionally cold, but we still have snow *-<|:+)

Try the same temp on Christmas day...

Where's my Australian Scorcher of a Christmas?

Thank you for writing 57°F instead of 57.20°F :)

That's not that bad, depending on where you live. Seattle rarely gets below 0C and 10C is pretty normal for a high in December.

It's slightly colder right now in the SF Bay Area where it doesn't snow

It's always disconcerting when I go somewhere it's supposed to snow in the winter and it's warmer.

Today I'm working outside in a t-shirt. Comfortably. It's even fucking raining and I still don't need a jacket.

Here in Texas it's not irregular for Christmas to be 80°F (26.5°C).

And even though its 72°F (22°C) today, it looks like tomorrow will be 57°F (14°C)

I would still be freezing. T. Living near the equator.

Finland

It's 64F here 😎

Same here, no snow, just a lot of water everywhere. I hope there will be another winter comeback somewhere before April, I want to go ice skating outside :(

is this complaining of too hot or too cold? I'm confused, 14 seems pretty nice to me middle of summer.

Last year at this time I had survived driving home from the Oregon Coast through a hell of a snowstorm in Portland with freezing rain to make it back to snowmageddon in Vancouver just in time for Xmas. This year I'm kinda of happy for rain and a high of 7C today.

Where I'm from, that temperature is very regular during December. The lowest I've ever seen in my city is 6°C (which means we don't ever get snow). But that doesn't mean that it's much warmer, it's actually a chilly insanity for us. I'm shivering right now as I'm writing this.

41°F here right now, so 5°C? Feels about right.
