December 21st in Centereach, NY:
The tree on the left is still mostly green, and the trees that have turned must’ve done so recently as the leaves are still hydrated, otherwise they would’ve blown off in the recent wind events.
I agree, December is about as transitional as March.
These types of super-torch winter patterns have been largely restricted to Eurasia, I was wondering when it’d be North America’s turn.
Will I see hail for the first time in my life today? (Knocking on all wood in a 50ft radius)
62 with full sunshine here, winds have been occasionally gusty.
Low of 36 here. Light frost on the tops of cars but nowhere else. Tropical plants unfazed.
Temp was 38 upon entering Connetquot, quickly plummeted to 33, rebounded back to 38 after exiting, increasing by 1 degree roughly every block or so.
