December was the fifth warmest on record.

According to Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln, only two days were actually below average for the month - something he says is very rare.

El Nino remains at its peak right now and Shimon indicates as we continue to roll through the traditional winter months, forecasters anticipate El Nino weakening.

If you enjoy the snow, January may be packing some more wintery systems. We'll have more with Shimon on that in the days ahead on Regional Radio.
