Christmas 2023 was warm in Omaha, so the New York Times announced the end of snow. Now there is record snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere and Omaha is under an extreme cold watch.
“This past year was an Omaha year, and we arrived on the 22nd to find that the weather was very mild — almost 50 degrees — and there was no snow. More unusually, there had been no snow for the entire month of December. Aside from some brief and very sparse flurries, it hadn’t snowed in Brooklyn, either, in November or December. I’m an incorrigible heat seeker, and the phrase “wintry mix” fills me with despair. But even so, the lack of cold and ice in 2023 felt unsettling.”
