A blanket of dense fog covered Manhattan on Monday — leaving only the top of the Freedom Tower visible from Brooklyn as procrastinating Christmas shoppers across the city hurried through the rain to buy last-minute gifts.
Temperatures reached as high as 60 degrees as rain fell from 5 a.m. on, according to AccuWeather, a far cry from the white Christmas New Yorkers dream of.
"It makes the atmosphere more gloomy. I would call Mother Nature a true grinch," said student Nour Saoulo, 18, as she headed to the Atlantic Center.
"It feels like Christmas is another day. The rain puts a damper on the holidays," said Veronica Flemming, 41.
"You get the holiday spirit with the snow. "
Many city stores are staying open around the clock.
Macy's in Herald Square was open at midnight Monday and won't close until 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve.
Kohl's is pulling a similar stunt — staying open five days straight.
But New Yorkers hoping for snow might still be in luck, as the forecast for Tuesday is a low of 22 degrees with almost an inch of snow.
