« Hurricane Preview | Main | Better Off With Snow »
December, when the remnants of fall haven’t quite been routed and winter is poised for a takeover, can be a wildly variable month.
On this date in 1966, the high temperature in Philadelphia reached 71, it was a record for the date and the second consecutive day the high had hit 70.
Three days later, it snowed, with about 2 inches measured at the airport.
On Dec. 24,more than a foot of snow made fell upon the region, making it one of the whitest Christmases ever.
