Exactly. And that's the only thing people care about. Folks couldn't care less if the charts show the greatest block in recorded history if it's raining and 55° on New Year's Eve.
The final day of the year will be mild again. This is the 7th out of the past 8 years when it has reached 40F or higher on 12-31. Similar to mid/late 80s.
