According to Keim, throughout this year we have experienced a trend toward warmer weather. Warmer temperatures occur in New England when air coming from the Gulf of Mexico and the south are transported north on strong jet streams. This year the jet streams and storm tracks, which usually come from Canada, are staying north. According to Keim, global warming and El Nino are just two explanations for warmer weather trends.
Students have a mixed reaction to the weather.
It's December, and I should be skating. Although senior Kelly Conway said she loves the warm weather, she also wishes for snow and colder temperatures. Snow would be cool. I have been away for awhile. Junior Jessica LaMountain said she feels differently.
