El Nino is the other cause. The current will be weaker than normal this year, so cold air masses won’t have an opportunity to linger and illicit much of a temperature drop.

We’re also supposed to see below-normal levels of precipitation. Nothing gets you in the holiday spirit quite like a hot, bone-dry winter.
