Over the past century, Christmas Day temperatures have declined sharply in the US.
Christmas Day 1955, 80 degree temperatures were recorded in Virginia, and 60 degree temperatures were recorded in Pennsylvania. It was 84 degrees in Kansas, and 60 degree temperatures were recorded in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. Almost the entire state of Maryland was over 60 degrees.
The coldest Christmas was 1983, when almost the entire US was in a deep freeze.
This Christmas may come close to that.
