White Christmas? Not this year
A record high for Christmas Eve in Syracuse was broken while you slept.

A weather station southwest of Montreal hit 70 degrees at 10 a.m Thursday; Bennington, Vt., reached 70 at 11 a.m.
There’s also a blizzard watch in western Texas, and the clashing of cold and warm air is what’s behind some of the severe weather. Although this winter has been unseasonably warm, it hasn’t reached record highs so far. But it was 71 and as of mid-day Christmas Eve and was going to be a relatively comfortable 58 overnight, according to AccuWeather.com.
Alabama Power Co. says about 3,500 homes and businesses are without power, most in the Mobile area and southeastern Alabama, where forecasters say torrential rain was falling at a rate of 5 inches an hour.
The temperature is expected to reach 68 degrees. It felt more like Christmas a year before with a high temperature of 33 and a low of 22 and sunny and cool conditions, according to the weather service.
At least ten people were killed as the storms, feeding on the unseasonable warm air, left a trail of destruction from IL to Alabama. That’s 1 degree shy of the record of 67 degrees, which the service recorded in 1955. Friday is expected to be among the warmest Christmas Days ever recorded in Houston.
“If somebody is planning to travel out there, they should find another route”, said Stuart Seto, a weather specialist with the National Weather Service.
Most of the shower activity is finished by noon, and some clearing takes place mainly to the north. Christmas Eve afternoon temperatures are record breaking, in the upper 60s to lower 70s!

The most recent snowfall on Christmas Day was in 2008 and the region was embedded in an extended cold and snowy weather period that started on December 13 and ran through the end of the year. The Christmas Day high will be a somewhat balmyh 63 degrees in Bartlesville. Look for highs closer to 60 Wednesday with lows near 40, which would bring us back closer to seasonal temperatures. Higher-than-usual temperatures were projected to continue through January.
