Christmas Weather Outlook: Unseasonably High Temperatures and Lots of Rain in the Forecast for Christmas 2015

The East Coast will most certainly not be seeing a White Christmas this year, but it will be seeing a wet one! With near record-breaking, high temperatures being experienced by the region this season, it’s no surprise that this Christmas may not feel a lot like the Christmases of years passed.
