It has been a warmer than average start to the winter for the Northeast. Temperatures have been hovering between 3 and 6 degrees above normal. The mild temperatures have resulted in precipitation falling as rain rather than snow for the Northeast and New England.
Some communities in New England have seen repeated flooding issues thanks to the heavy rain as of late.
The latest round of wet weather hit just in time for Christmas. However, warmer air has contributed to a mild start to the winter, helping to offset the impacts of the persistent rain.
