Following 2012's record hot summer in South Carolina, the trend seems to be pushing into the winter weather as well.

The Post and Courier's Bo Peterson follows up with a report noting that forecasters expect this winter to once again be warmer and drier than normal.

As for Christmas Day, it's expected to be 7 degrees above normal at 67 in Charleston.

Time to breakout the Christmas shorts.
