Keep in mind that winter officially starts on December 21. But yes, we have not seen any snow and the first day of snow usually averages out to be around December 15. That won't happen this year. Unfortunately the rest of December looks warmer than average. The average for this time of year should be a high of 41 and a low of 26. As you can see, we are slightly above average. The computer models keep hinting that the polar vortex will visit us and then the models push the date back by a week. In late November the models said the cold air would arrive by December 12-15. And then December 18-20. Now they say December 27-29. Will it get pushed back again? It's possible.
Here's what's going on. The cold air is bottled up and stuck over Siberia.(Green circle = Siberia; Red arrow = Indiana)
This makes sense if you have been following the changes in the earth's magnetic pole shift.
Until it makes a move, we are stuck with above average temperatures and a lot of cold rain. The first week of January 2024 looks promising but then the temperatures warm up again.
So, the good news is that winter is not over. Heck, it hasn't even started yet! The bad news is that temperatures are trending warmer than normal. I think it's safe to say that we will not have a White Christmas this year. Nonetheless #BOTS!
