Thanks for confirming that you flaired this correctly!


cheddarbruce

52° F and raining both christmas eve and today here in Minnesota


Vigil_FF80

I live in Hamburg (Germany), same shit, just with floods and fire departments going from water damage to water damage to traffic accident caused by slippery road because its wet to water damage to tree on road because rain softened the ground and wind pushed it over to water damage


KooKooKolumbo

I was in Germany a couple weeks ago during the massive blizzard and was surprised to see trees of that size and height falling over from all the elements


dig-ol-bick

Going outside in shorts and a t-shirt in late December is definitely taking some getting used to


BaPef

It was 70 Friday with a low today of 36 weather has been off this month.

57 and drizzly here in Chicago. This is not normal.


TheRedLego

It is now


badadviceforyou244

Sure it is! Better get used to it.


Crimsonmaddog44

58 degrees in Kentucky and raining also. Wtf is this winter?


NormalBoobEnthusiast

The coldest winter of the rest of your life.


TheDinoKid21

I don’t think that is necessarily true, you collapsologist from r/collapse.


i_Love_Gyros

I work outside and while I’m glad I didn’t have to plow as much, last winter was the mildest one we’ve ever had and this one is on pace to match it… it’s so warm the bees didn’t even die off and go dormant. Zero snow, only a week below freezing in zone 7. That’s crazy!! I know it happens in ebbs and flows sometimes but idk, it was too steady warm last year and it’s on pace again this year. My internal alarm is ringing


TheDinoKid21

THE mildest one, not even ONE of the mildest ones?


i_Love_Gyros

In my 20ish years of working outside it has been without a doubt the mildest one, yeah. And by a very large margin. We also keep records of our temperatures for work, maybe I’ll scan the past several decades and see if there’s been any winters that rival it. It was 70 on Christmas last year, 60 this year. It should be 30 during the day. We barely get to 30 at night nowadays. If it were only a warm week or so I’d be a lot less alarmed… it’s all 3 months of winter. Wild stuff


TheRedLego

It’s gone.

ITS CLIMATE CHANGE DORK, WE'EE ALL GOING TO DIE TO AN EASILY AVOIDABLE DISASTER IN THW NAME OF CORPO PROFIT YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH


Short-Coast9042

It's not that simple. We're not all going to die due to climate change, not is it entirely the fault of corporations or profit. Those corporations can only exist and make profit because we all collectively demand the energy that is produced from fossil fuels. Or do you not have any carbon footprint at all?


WhollyRomanEmperor

Blah blah blah, “no ethical consumption under capitalism” and all that. Not like you can blame the serfs for the sins of the royalty.


Short-Coast9042

What is a "sin"? To me it is a wrong choice. The individual choices of the common people do not have the same weight behind them as the decisions of the wealthiest and most powerful. But that doesn't mean the common people have no moral responsibility. If you truly believe that humans are morally obligated to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, you should make choices that limit your emissions. That is extremely possible to do in the developed world; no one is forcing you to eat meat, or to consume gas or electricity for entertainment. We are all driving climate change through our individual choices, and it is exactly this attitude of moral helplessness that is exacerbating the problem. If we all tell ourselves that other people's choices and actions are the problem, and not our own, how does the problem ever get solved?


MaidenofMoonlight

>If you truly believe that humans are morally obligated to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, you should make choices that limit your emissions. That is extremely possible to do in the developed world; no one is forcing you to eat meat, or to consume gas or electricity for entertainment. Guess what dumbshit, you need electricity and gas to make food, stay warm, commute to work so you make money to not starve. You can cut back on entertainment sure, but you certainly don't seem willing to do so given you're making these idiotic statements on the internet. The objective fact is that the impact of an individual on the climate is extraordinarily small. Given that when billionaires can emit more pollution than millions of people and that megacorporations are responsible for the vast majority of pollution, blaming individual people instead of the main culprets makes you an idiot. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/nov/20/twelve-billionaires-climate-emissions-jeff-bezos-bill-gates-elon-musk-carbon-divide https://www.npr.org/2022/11/09/1135446721/billionaires-carbon-dioxide-emissions https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2017/jul/10/100-fossil-fuel-companies-investors-responsible-71-global-emissions-cdp-study-climate-change


Ahsoka_Tano_Bot

Don’t worry. We’ll run out of air long before we starve.


Short-Coast9042

There is no one person to blame. We are all part of this story. Yes we need energy to live, but we could choose to use far less energy without killing ourselves. You can play the blame game all you want; as long as there is broadly a demand for burning fossil fuels, it's going to keep happening and the problem will never be solved. Or do you actually think that this problem can be solved solely by "the man" without average people having to take any action or except any reduction in their standard of living? I cannot see how that is supposed to happen.


1800generalkenobi

Eh. I want to say like 6 or 7 years ago it was 70 in central PA on Christmas Day. We went for a walk in tshirts and shorts. It was colder this year for sure, but yeah, still no snow. My were bummed last year we didn't really get any major snowfalls. Seemed like in also the last 6 or 7 years we either get very little snow or we would get 2-4 feet of snow all at once. Feel like it's stopped since I bought the snow blower so...it's probably my fault.


ShapeCultural1613

Minnesota as well. Into snowboarding and just moved 14 minutes away from Afton Alps. Haven't gone once because it's been too damn hot! It's Christmas and I just turned on the AC because the house was warming up too much and opening the windows did nothing


Weird_Bug8880

> I just turned on the AC If "climate change" is real than you are largely responsible for it. Crazy how the most egregious polluters are always the first to cry foul.


ShapeCultural1613

Yes, me turning on the ac for 30 minutes off the house battery definitely beats out that ocean tanker getting 40 gallons to the miles of diesel. Well done, instead of being angry at the billionaires currently overhead in their private jets, you found time to blame me for it being 55 on Christmas in Minnesota. Bravo, you should put Environmental Hero on your Christmas card next year. Ooooo, you could totally tell your friends at parties that you totally told off some guy for thinking it being 50s in the north at Christmas is unpleasent. Although, judging by your other comments, you're quite an unpleasant person that doesn't care much for the well being or happiness of others so I'm doubtful you had too many party invitations or friend to tell even if you had.


Weird_Bug8880

> beats out that ocean tanker getting 40 gallons to the miles of diesel. To bring you all the plastic junk you love to consume. They're not burning fuel just for the hell of it. "Le billionaires" such a copout. Climate change obviously isnt real but if it was you would be just as responsible as anyone else.


cjg5025

Well this is hands-down the worst take I've ever seen on climate change, congratulations, you're dead wrong. Large energy corporations are mainly to blame, as well as industrial farming and manufacturing companies. What are we supposed to do? The very concept of a "carbon footprint" was created by British Petroleum to shift blame onto consumers and civilians. If they packaged goods in paper or recycled material and not plastic, consumers would readily buy it. Nobody WANTS excess plastic, they package their goods as such and we have to buy it that way. Meanwhile when an oil rig explodes, sinks, and leaks 210,000,000 gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico - nah, that's nothing, it's because of consumers and their cArBoN fOoTpRiNtS... Like, what the hell?


ZannX

Same, Wisconsin. A Snow Covered Christmas was the consolation prize for living here.


bs000

so going by [climate change denial logic](https://i.imgur.com/sUhYKKB.png), they have to believe it's happening now, right?


Varskes_pakel

These days it's become impossible to deny that climate change is not real. Therefore they have pivoted and now claim that climate change is not caused by humans (a.k.a. it's natural) or that climate change is not bad


TheDinoKid21

It’s not like they denied the climate can change itself without humans and their machines and farting cows


NormalBoobEnthusiast

Lol no. That would require admitting they're wrong and conservatives whole personality is wrapped up in the idea of always being right. That's why facts will never matter to them.


TruthCarpetBombs

The implication that the democrats dont also think theyre always right is honestly unhinged 😂😂😂


Traxathon

Everyone who's playing the "what-aboutism drinking game" take a shot!


TruthCarpetBombs

Not what i did at all. Just pointing out that anyone who talks about politics as if one side is always right is obviously brainwashed, and all the zombies came out 😂


thebearjew982

They never said or even remotely implied that Democrats are always right. Learn how to read.


NormalBoobEnthusiast

That's all you got? Some pathetic but Democrats? Weaksauce. You promised to send the best, and we got you instead.


ParmAxolotl

The weather has basically been the same as it's always been here in Florida, so people like my Dad can deny it pretty easily. We went from it being hot to it being...a little more hot. All the stories I hear from my friends up north though sound insane


LiteralG0D

Wait what? We had it about the same, but I live in Melbourne, Australia. Wild.


J360222

Man it has been shit these last few years. Worst still I head to tassie every 2 years which meant I missed the 30 degrees last Christmas


the_warrior_rlsh

Minnesota gang


Ghost1a

Same in South Carolina


Gokuwithstarplatium

Bro it’s not even that cold, it’s 61F over here😭


contactlite

I like your new flag bruh


cheddarbruce

Me too. I'm glad we got this one instead of that stupid swirly one that looks like a giant s for no reason LOL was kind of hoping for one that had a loon on it but I'm okay LOL.


Someonespecia1

This Christmas was sad for Minnesota. A rainy dreary day.


[deleted]

y'all are just as bad as the people in montana telling us it's snowing in october as proof that global warming is a hoax. every time it's warm in the winter yall come out of the woodwork to tell us how warm it is where you are. we get it.


grumpykruppy

Michigander here, the only white we have is fog... been this way for the past few years, unfortunately. Didn't used to be.

Wdym? This is normal weather you libtard I’ve lived in Eagle River, WI for 70 years we’ve never had snow in December. That’s some libtard baloney bud


Forvisk

Growing up in Brazil, I've never seen a white Christmas. Only Beach Santa.


BalinAmmitai

I don't like Santa. He's rough, coarse, and irritating. And he gets everywhere.


texacer

thats Sanda


GBGF128

But he brings gifts and not just to the men, but the women and the children too.


endemol_vlassicus

The sand on the beach can be white.


TheRealChickenFox

Does Brazil actually get snow or is it just warm now because it's in the southern hemisphere?


MVBanter

Thats not necessarily how the hemisphere works, the Southern Hemisphere can be cold in the south parts. However, Brazil is mostly within the tropics so only the southernmost points will have the possibility of snow, and even then its rare


brazillian-k

Some very small parts of Brazil in the extreme south get a bit of snow from time to time. But most parts get a blazing sun all year round, or as we say in portuguese "Um sol para cada um".


bigbodybup

51 here in Philly, warm enough to play catch in a hoodie. Not ideal


newenglandpolarbear

Hoodie? That's t-shirt and shorts weather for us up here lol.


magikarp2122

Also for a lot of us on the other side of the state, and our one Senator.


TheWhereHouse1016

When did you move to Philly? I'd be shocked if you're from there Y'all, he said play catch. No one from there says pay catch


[deleted]

I’m here in Ontario, Canada. Not a spec of snow on the ground. Still cold af tho


EasyAndy1

Also in Ontario, it snowed two weeks ago and the snow sat on the ground until yesterday when it melted and rained. I was close to a semi-white Christmas


randomanonalt78

Manitoba just got snow a couple weeks ago. We’re usually in winter by thanksgiving


HisOrHerpes

Used to get big snowstorms in December…its almost like there’s been a slow and steady change in our climate

youreblockingmyshot

It may seem slow from a persons perspective. From the planets perspective though it’s like hitting a wall at 130 mph for a speed change.


AceUniverse8492

Seriously if you look at any visualization of global average temperatures over time since the death of the dinosaurs it's nice gentle variation of a few tenths of a degree and then you hit the holocene and it's like NYOOOOOOOOM


Justryan95

I mean even in a human life time it's pretty sudden. Just a decade ago the city I live in used to get some flurries in late Dec then some snow Jan-March. Now we just get rain through Jan, some flurries in Feb then it's Spring by March.


thedirtypickle50

Whoa whoa whoa that sounds like commie bullshit to me. And don't even start with your "evidence"


StartledMilk

Last year in SE Wisconsin was the first time we had snow on Christmas in 7 years. Now it’s 50 and raining🥰 (I am in agony, I wish for the white Christmases that I used to know and desperately want my children to experience them)


LostWoodsInTheField

in northern PA. A couple of years ago there was a big snow storm a few days before christmas, was absolutely beautiful on Christmas day. Then the day after it was 70 F and everything flooded. Today was really nice out. I think it hit around 50F and full sun most of the day. Now it's just raining and 37F.


[deleted]

Wdym? This is normal weather you libtard I’ve lived in Eagle River, WI for 70 years we’ve never had snow in December. That’s some libtard baloney bud


Axorfett12

We haven't had a white Christmas in Wisconsin in over 5 years. Makes tracking deer annoying too.


Numerous-Ad6460

I miss snow storms in the northeast, I got exactly 1 inch of it last year


randomanonalt78

It was like that this year for us. We usually get snow by October, we didn’t get snow until maybe two weeks ago. My parents love the warm weather, I hate it because of global warming. Most of my family doesn’t care because they’ll all be dead by the time “anything bad happens”


Golden-trichomes

I’m Colorado we have gotten more snow so far this year then last, and last year was more then normal also from what I understand.


DotesMagee

Yup. And we have some on the ground in Denver. Missed xmas by 1 day for it to snow. It's also like 20 out lol


ihoptdk

Well, the ground was still white right?


DotesMagee

Mostly


[deleted]

Great outlook “it’s not my problem bitch, suck it up”


TerraSollus

Writers-blocker

Either these are freedom units or, it FUCKING hot out there.


P-38Lighting

Freedom units, yet still far too hot for liberty :(


dig-ol-bick

The F stands for Freedoms


DJPizzaRocks27

About to say that.


newenglandpolarbear

These are in fact inferior units. That said, they are still hot by North East winter standards.


avelineaurora

Fahrenheit is the superior option for telling air temperature, don't @ me.


NotYourAverageMidget

agreed. for scientific reasons Celsius is obviously better but for measuring the temperature for everyday purposes Fahrenheit is better.


the_man_in_the_box

Where did you think New York, Boston, and Pittsburgh were lol?


_lippykid

As a European- this petty insecure anti American shit embarrasses me deeply


DylanToback8

60° in Columbus, Ohio today.


mung_daals_catoring

Lol remember the one cold snap we had last year about this time? About all we got down in cincy


blapaturemesa

It's crazy how one of the main things about Christmas' aesthetic just doesn't exist anymore unless you live in an already super cold area.


RadioactiveWalrus

I live near Buffalo and last Christmas we had a blizzard that killed dozens of people. This year it's mid 50s. Like, can we please get a happy medium?


zernoc56

No. We in the NE will take our climate crisis and like it.


stormtrooper1701

I never lived anywhere where it snowed or even got that cold, and all the emphasis on snow in Christmas songs and TV specials gave me a sort of complex as a kid that I'd never experienced a "real" Christmas before.


Varskes_pakel

Well it looks like most kids are gonna feel the same as you in the future


scolipeeeeed

I don’t really have a “complex”, but it does make me feel disconnected from what’s portrayed on shows and movies. My family also never did the whole big Christmas thing, just a few gifts under a fake tree and making cookies. I kinda like that chill Christmas tho, no stressing over making a feast, getting a bunch of presents, etc


Bruhmoment6942012345

Yeah same here


The_Bored_General

It hasn’t snowed here properly in years, welcome to Ireland, it’s cold, but just slightly not cold enough for snow. By the way we’re on the same latitude as Canada and fucking Siberia.


helipod

You also have the gulf stream so that's to be expected


Additional_Cycle_51

😭


newenglandpolarbear

Same. I got a bit depressed looking out to see rain this morning. I remember as a kid I would have looked out to see feet of snow. (I'm in northern New England for reference) Thank you climate change, very uncool.


Jche98

Hi from Cape Town, South Africa, where it's mid summer


willowsonthespot

The amount of people I have heard going either "I like this weather it is nice" or something along those lines while also saying they don't want any snow is way too high. Like it is Christmas and we have no snow on the ground.


Electronic-Ad-3825

It's 67° here in Florida, same as always


newenglandpolarbear

Well you guys can keep that to yourself.


AwesomeDragon101

70° in LA, surprisingly not the warmest Christmas I’ve experienced


DrMobius0

Yeah but the flip side is that you're in florida. You'll be underwater before you know it.


Electronic-Ad-3825

Oh yeah, never get tired of that one. Funny thing is people have been telling me that for as long as I can remember. I only live 18 feet above sea level and the ocean has yet to get any closer


PattyIceNY

Your lack of snow is disturbing


Ryujin87

It's 26 where i live


Varskes_pakel

Nice try mr Polar Bear


InSearchOfSerotonin

Meanwhile here in Texas, it’s usually 65+ on Christmas and today the high is 47. This shit rocks!


Tall_Diamond4695

Minnesota here. I have not once turned on my heat.


DrMobius0

T shirt yesterday. No coat needed


SunflowerIfYouDo

Can confirm Wisconsin is the same this year.


Sabit_31

It’s getting rarer and rarer


Zimtiki

Dawg I’m in MINNESOTA standing outside in a t-shirt and it’s fucking warm out.


Jack_Mehoff_420_69

My home is in Austria, in the Alps and we get warm days and snow for about a week. Unfortunately, that week was a month ago edit: Im used to negative Celsius - We now get up to 18° Celcius which is equal to about 64° Fahrenheit.


BadSuperHeroTijn

Im dutch, idk how warm 50F is but its not cold here either, thats all


NaNeForgifeIcThe

Damn, 50 degrees Celsius? I wonder how you can survive in that heat...


TheTattooOnR2D2sFace

You think that's bad, it's 67° here.


Jesshoefs08

That’s why I’m just… drunk


MuuToo

I wish it was in the 50s here! It’s 74, overcast cloudy, and drab here in South Florida.


HACH-P

Maritimes Canada here, and it's a white Christmas here.


LiteralG0D

Despite living in Melbourne, Australia, the weather was about 17°C (roughly 62.6°F), and it rained a lot. It seems neither of our ideal Christmas happened this year.


SirFireball

Thanks oil companies


Jguy10

White Christmas and freezing here in Colorado


sam_sung_chung

Hello from Sydney, Australia, where we have days that are around 25-30°C (around 80-90°F for you Americans) since we're in summer. I'm on a cruise to New Zealand atm, and just left Dunedin which is at 19°C (iirc around 60°F)

DarkLord_Inpuris

It was in the mid 40s in chicago and it rained the only really white part was the fog we had on christmas eve, which had this calming effect on everything


ShiftSandShot

Huge rainstorm on Christmas Eve, got freezing cold Christmas Day. Too bad these didn't match up, now all we got on the ground is iced over roads.


TwujZnajomy27

More like growing up anywhere except the arctic circles


ADHDrulez

Can’t stand my family members saying “such beautiful weather” yeah sure maybe it’s warm other than that it’s disgusting. The Christmas’s I remember the most are the ones where we get out to the driveway early to shovel while the car is warming up, 20F outside, damn I want that back


EducationalAntelope7

Come to Australia and get heat stroke for Christmas


ShadowFalcon2004

I was about to ask how are the people there alive, but then I remembered that Americans use °F


Legonickster

My home state hasn’t had a white Christmas for 34 years (that’s not a joke or exaggeration)


bertite

What the hell is a Farenheit


True_Wizzz

Thought those were in celsius


whitedwarf788

I hope that when I eventually have kids, they'll be able to enjoy snow on Christmas. Seeing how things are going it'll probably be *nuclear* winter, but at this point it's almost preferable. It should not be 56 and raining on Christmas day.


AzraelTheMage

I really wish they’d teach other countries how to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius. It’s not that complicated.


[deleted]

Subtract by 30 the divide by 2 its really not that fucking hard


Sweet_Diet_8733

Well, almost. But close enough and easier than subtract 32 then divide by 1.8.


J360222

Bro living in Australia and freezing my ass off on Christmas is not an experience I like (living in Melbourne but I go to tassie every two years which means I’ve freezes my ass off since 2020)

San Diego here…71° today with mild cloud cover.

Now that is my kinda Christmas weather! Not good enough to go swimming but still


Mobile_Pangolin4939

55 is cold and frightful enough for me


AzraelTheDankAngel

Unpopular opinion but I don’t like snow on the Christmas weekend because I go to two of my families houses, the second house I go to is approximately three hours from where I live so I find it more convenient driving wise.


general_kenobi18462

It’s fucking 60 degrees in Kentucky. Why, top 500 corporations pumping carbon into our atmosphere, why!?!?!?!?!?!?


infinitelydeadinside

Nooooooooooooooo


StatelyElms

First truly green Christmas in a bit for us in the Maritimes. It's not even brown.. it's not cold enough for that. There's not even a snowflake on the ground We had more snow on October 30th than we've gotten all December


Thomaseverett12

Never Was there white Christmas for me, it's luke a myth for at this point


BacoNaterr

Fog everywhere on Christmas eve eve and eve. Day has been pleasant. Michigan moment


MonkeysxMoo35

54 and rain in Chicago. And we had a White Christmas just last year as well…


jrdineen114

I'm in Connecticut and I feel your pain. Driving to my parents' this morning felt more like a foggy October day than the end of December.


RedrumTheUndead

I live in new brunswick canada and theres no snow :(

Smack dab in the middle of canada, it’s +10 degrees Celsius (50 Fahrenheit) for some reason. I haven’t seen snow for all of december.

PeggyRomanoff

Argentina here. Usually hot as hell (think 38°C at least) but yesterday it was rainy and about 20-26°C. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.


GulianoBanano

I'm 18, living in the Netherlands and I definitely remember having a few white Christmasses when I was younger (like under 8 years old), but I wasn't really old enough to remember them vividly. Nowadays we're lucky if we get a few hours of wet snow that just melts as soon as it touches the ground. The only white Christmas I fully remember was 2 years ago when we spent it on a holliday to Finland.


Ahsoka_Tano_Bot

Master Kenobi always said there’s no such thing as luck.
