global warming? unseasonably warm? warming trends?

global warming?
seasonal trends?

shorts and no jacket in january?

washington dc has a history of having some warm stretches in the winter
yes... global warming is a reality
but... are these warm days just a part of the climate here

it does seem like things are warmer than they were when I was a child
it seemed like there was usually the first set of flurries before thanksgiving
then at least a dusting before christmas

were the cold snowy winters of my childhood the seasons out of character
or are these warm decembers of the present day what is out of character
?
