The overnight low temp of 50 degrees has set a new record for the warmest minimum temp for a Dec. 25th, eclipsing by 4 deg the 87-year-old previous record for the lowest minimum temp for Dec. 25th —which, until Monday, had been 46-deg, set in 1936.What a difference a year makes! Last Christmas saw us coming off two days with sub-zero temps and an inch of snow on the ground. Also, the low temp a year ago was +2 deg, which puts Monday morning's low of 50 deg an eye-catching 48 deg warmer!And our 59-deg official high at O'Hare (Midway recorded a Christmas Day high of 60-deg) missed by only 6-deg the record high of 65 in the extraordinary Christmas of 1982. A year ago, the high only reached 14 deg. So Monday was 45 deg warmer than Christmas a year ago.Interestingly, both the 1982 Christmas and Monday occurred with A Strong El Niño underway in the equatorial Pacific. El Niños, which involve the warming of Pacific Ocea...
