It has been warmer than normal here in the PNW.
And when it’s warming than normal in the PNW, that’s usually the indicator that there is ridging in place that will pull the cold air down and send the rest of the country below normal, which is what has happened in November. We will see if it continues. Many on this thread are forgetting that patterns flip on a dime. Just because one month is cold doesn’t mean it stays cold. December could be mild and then it flips, which is what happens in many winters. It’s rare things stay “cold.”
