It was a brown and rainy Christmas. A great day to take a walk. There wasn’t much traffic and everything was closed.
NOAA’s data shows that in the past 123 years, there have been 36 Christmases in Minnesota without snow or just a trace. Christmas 2023 was the warmest on record with temperatures in the lower 50’s. The previous record for Christmas Day in the Twin Cities was 51 degrees in 1922.
