Walking through the village this morning, a woman holding her dog on a leash, looked at a passerby and said just one word: “weird.” It wasn’t hard to figure out what she was referring to, with the temperature already in the mid-50s at 8 a.m.
Outside the elementary school, a teacher waited for students, commenting, perhaps wishfully, that it won’t last for long. Warm weather means no snow, and no snow means no hidden vacations, snow days.
Saturday’s temperature is expected to pass 60 degrees. The National Weather Service is predicting temperatures in the high 30s on Tuesday but the temperature will start creeping back up by week’s end. There is no snow in the forecast.
According to the weather service the average temperature in December in New York City’s Central Park was 43.6 degrees, 6.3 degrees above normal. That made December 2006 the third warmest December on record in New York City. The warmest was back 2001 when the average temperature was 44.1 degrees. The second warmest was in 1984 with an average of 43.8 degrees.
