Shortest winter EVER?
Not!
But it is very curious to see coastal water temps near 70 degrees at the end of December...
Slim might even catch that rarer-than-rare "Christmas king" ;-)

Looks like I'm not going to have to cut firewood for next year, or clean the chimney.

Water temp in our area is normally the center of our normal Highs & lows. 80 in the days & 60 at night Equals a 70 degree water temp over a month average or so. Wait a week. It will drop . What's the coldest water temp you've seen on our gulf beaches? I've seen 49 degree's. Don't throw away the fire wood just yet. Winter just officially started.

Yep the pattern can change with a single wave of the jet stream. And I wish it would!

As long as the eastern Pacific is warm (ENSO / El Nino) a single wave is not likely to do it. If you look at the satellite imagery there is a pretty constant stream of warm moist air coming our way from there. Originally Posted by CarlF

Eventually the ENSO will oscillate back to "normal", the El Nino will dissipate as the westerlies re-establish, but until then the moisture from the Eastern Pacific dominates.

The forecast is that the ENSO has peaked.

If you see natural water taste it. If it's salty it has sharks in it. If it's fresh it has alligators in it. If it's brackish it has both.

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
