“GREEN CHRISTMAS IN ENGLAND
Unseasonably Warm Weather Prevailed Throughout England. :
New York, Dec. 26.—England has had one of the greenest Christmases on record, says the Tribune’s London correspondent, for the weather has been so mild that primroses and cornflowers are abloom as far north as Liverpool: and Yorkshire, while Devonshire revels in a sub-tropical climate and the Isle of Wight is a garden or roses in midwinter”

Similar story in 1935.
The winter heat wave continues in London with the temperature early this morning only four degrees below that of June. Roses are blooming in Wales, daffodils in the south of England, and spring flowers are plentiful in parts of Scotland, usually snow covered at this time of the year. Even on high hills there is not a speck of snow.
