I packed away shoes I wear without socks, but need to find them again. On the bright side I'm getting tons of wear from my lightweight Burberry red quilted jacket that I got at the Rack 2 years ago! Usually it gets too cold too soon to really get enough wear. It's been my Christmas spirit!&nbsp;<br />We grilled our Christmas Eve lobsters and are grilling our tiny turkey beer can style today for Christmas dinner which is nice (and necessary as it's too hot to bake all day!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex/page/2#post-1596297 Fri, 25 Dec 2015 06:48:37 +0000 Debbie 1596297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is warm here. Warmer than usual. It is suppose to get cold on Sunday. Hopefully it will! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex/page/2#post-1596284 Fri, 25 Dec 2015 03:24:26 +0000 L'Abeille 1596284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's melting fast with last night's rain and today's 9'C temps, but this was the view from my door yesterday morning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex/page/2#post-1596283 Fri, 25 Dec 2015 02:35:20 +0000 Echo 1596283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in WI and it is ridiculously warm here. I bought a full-length puffer in anticipation of the snow and cold temps this year, and haven't had to wear it once. Indeed, a short jacket I bought has been too warm. But I DO wish we had snow, at least. It doesn't feel like December without it, and because I work in a school, I notice that the kids really miss it. It has been wet instead, meaning they have to play on the blacktop instead of the grass, and there are no snow hills to climb and slide down, no snowmen to build, etc. I don't miss the sub-zero temperatures, but a little snow would be nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex/page/2#post-1596281 Fri, 25 Dec 2015 00:39:44 +0000 Anonymous 1596281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>People here are still mowing their grass, which is green and growing. 200 miles north in Omaha they had 6-10 inches of snow today. South in Arkansas they have had tornados. I am not missing the cold. It may be a long cold spell from New Years on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex/page/2#post-1596262 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 22:37:58 +0000 Anonymous 1596262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's been wet and dreary all day long here, with temps in the high '60s. Much different than the snow and single-digit temps we usually get. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex/page/2#post-1596143 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 03:38:35 +0000 Carla 1596143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had enough snow in years past, that a couple of green Christmas's are okay with me. Wore slip on sneaks without socks, and a leather jacket today. Christmas Eve forecast is for 17degC! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex/page/2#post-1596128 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 02:07:03 +0000 retailgirl 1596128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sure don't mind the lack of snow...(new englander here) but the temps are a little bit higher than I like. I haven't been able to wear a cashmere turtleneck yet this year. But I won't complain, because last year the weather was mild until the end of January and then we were slammed for weeks. Cold, snow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex/page/2#post-1596011 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 18:58:28 +0000 Tanya 1596011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The weather has been absolutely crazy warm here in DC area. It is the 60s today and expected to go up to to 70s tomorrow. While I generally run cold and prefer warmer weather, this has been a bit too much bi wish we could have some snow for the holidays. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex/page/2#post-1595993 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 17:30:46 +0000 dator 1595993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is supposed to be 83 degrees here in south Texas on Christmas day. I guess that means short sleeves to mow the lawn! Hopefully for the last time this year!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex/page/2#post-1595981 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 16:48:51 +0000 Angie 1595981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of snow on the mountains this side. Like I said - I'm inviting you all to the glorious West Coast!&nbsp;</p> <p>(I also don't like snow for more than one day - and I loathe temperatures below freezing).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex/page/2#post-1595965 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 16:02:05 +0000 JAileen 1595965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meanwhile, here in the West, we went to the airport last night to pick up some family members. I saw several people who looked like Nanook of the North, in their parkas and Sorels. The ski resorts have had as much as 2 feet of snow in the last couple days. Another storm is expected tomorrow. We may get up to 6 inches at our house. The tv news said Lake Tahoe received over 4 billion gallons of water. Yeah!</p> <p>Here's our forecast. Brrr.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex/page/2#post-1595894 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 13:37:56 +0000 Anonymous 1595894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with everyone that said it sucks. &nbsp;It sucks. &nbsp;I am going to see Star Wars wearing a short sleeve tee shirt. &nbsp;This is just wrong. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex/page/2#post-1595889 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 13:26:51 +0000 Anonymous 1595889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can easily do without snow.

It feels wrong to not have that going on for Christmas. Instead we'll be hovering on the edge of needing to run the AC! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex/page/2#post-1595847 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 09:38:14 +0000 Style Fan 1595847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is very strange for us.&nbsp; It is warmer than normal for this time of year and raining.&nbsp; Very gloomy.&nbsp; I have noticed fewer Christmas decorations on the houses.&nbsp; I find dressing easier in some ways.&nbsp; I don't need to layer up to step outside.&nbsp; Sophie doesn't need her boots yet.&nbsp; She wear boots to protect her paws from the ice balls developing between her toes.&nbsp; Also, sometimes there is salt used on the roads and that hurts her feet.&nbsp; But it is a nightmare to dry her coat when it has been raining.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex/page/2#post-1595839 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 08:31:00 +0000 Gigi 1595839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a winter lover by any means, but here in Minnesota the grass is still green! That's just wrong. I am so hoping for some snow by Christmas. It's so overcast and blech without the snow to make everything pretty. And I'm getting tired of the icy pavement...it rains a bit and then freezes, or it snows and then melts and freezes, etc. Let's just get below freezing and have snow and be done with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex/page/2#post-1595812 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 03:49:10 +0000 crazyone 1595812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>so far I've been enjoying it, though it's a bit strange to be wearing a light trench coat in December. &nbsp;I haven't brought out my puffer, or taken out any of my heavy sweaters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex/page/2#post-1595809 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 03:47:21 +0000 Isabel 1595809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am also disappointed and feeling a bit lost...it is so weird. &nbsp;I see people around me trying really hard to look cozy and wear their winter gear and it just isn't working. &nbsp;I long to wear a cozy sweater, eat chili or French onion soup and have the fire going. &nbsp; : &nbsp;(&nbsp;</p> <p>The weirdest part for me is to wear the same clothes for so long. &nbsp;I am still wearing early Fall clothes. &nbsp;I never realized how much I enjoyed "moving" along and rotating clothes as the seasons went on.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex/page/2#post-1595785 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 02:45:34 +0000 Jaime 1595785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, we have the pretty typical highs near 70 lows in the 50s and I am quite pleased with that - and still wearing sweaters and coats most days! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex/page/2#post-1595781 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 02:34:03 +0000 Windchime 1595781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mid 50's F predicted here on Christmas day. That's at least 20 degrees warmer than average. If I weren't very concerned for the welfare of flora and fauna, I'd be loving our endless fall. I recently saw a heartbreaking picture of an emaciated polar bear adrift on a tiny bit of ice...</p> <p>I've noticed that once winter arrives, it seems like forever until true spring conditions return. I haven't needed my heaviest, warmest clothes much yet this year, but I'll probably still be wearing them in May. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex/page/2#post-1595776 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 01:59:58 +0000 El Cee 1595776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with Elizabeth P that it sucks. I am a snow bunny and love winter. Local weather forecasters are predicting 70ºF for Christmas Eve. At this rate, I will be cooking and entertaining in a tank top. ;-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex/page/2#post-1595773 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 01:48:38 +0000 Elizabeth P 1595773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it sucks.&nbsp; Christmas is about snow, and snowmen, and sledding, and digging tunnels in the pile of snow in the middle of the court my mother lives on.</p> <p>My DH had to stay at home to work, and is coming tomorrow or the next day to my mothers (where we now are).&nbsp; I just emailed him to ask him to bring a raincoat and rubber boots.&nbsp; My brain just couldn't compute that it would be POURING with rain in New Brunswick at Christmas time, and I brought all the wrong things.&nbsp; </p> <p>But I know the snow and cold will come...&nbsp; I'm quite happy with the opportunity to be able to wear trousers (ie not skinnies) with booties for as long as possible, I just want it to be white for Christmas!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex/page/2#post-1595768 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 01:35:09 +0000 Aquamarine 1595768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's definitely odd. I am torn...I still shudder when I remember last winter. This is definitely easier in terms of getting out and about. Fashion-wise, I haven't really had to break out the puffers very often, nor the gloves. Overall, I will take the mild weather for a change. I doubt it will last! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex/page/2#post-1595733 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 00:17:58 +0000 marianna 1595733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chicagoland here - I'm loving it. Nice change of pace, honestly. It's so much easier without snow... less mess, less work shoveling, less change of shoes, lighter weight coat. Love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex/page/2#post-1595730 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 00:04:53 +0000 shedev 1595730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm lovin it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex#post-1595724 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 23:44:55 +0000 Beth 1595724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm disappointed too! I love snow and cold temperatures, and it just doesn't feel much like Christmas. The humidity has soared here also, with rain forecast for the next few days. I'm frizzy and a little disgruntled! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex#post-1595721 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 23:33:18 +0000 Pat_P 1595721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the snow so am NOT enjoying this weather.

F here on Christmas day! I do love a nice white Christmas - just enough to make it pretty - but still safe for travel. Unfortunately it has been raining since yesterday and is going to continue right up til Christmas, drat. I had two outfits planned but it will be too warm and wet to wear them. I will have to figure that out.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-no-polar-vortex#post-1595707 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 22:33:12 +0000 Janet 1595707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm feeling kind of meh about it. I don't mind the opportunity to wear my lighter jackets, etc., but I also don't love the idea of 70+ degrees on Christmas unless I'm on a tropical beach somewhere. Seems like flu viruses spike with these unseasonably warm spurts too. </p> <p>Besides, I like snow. We don't typically get much of it here, and it usually melts quickly, so the hassle is usually minimal. </p>
