Washington actually tied 1933-34 for its warmest winter on record this year!

 

Oregon underachieved and finished a couple tenths of a degree behind 1933-34.. Oregon did have its highest average winter maximum on record.

 

California had its warmest winter on record for the 2nd consecutive year. 2014-15 was 1.5 degrees warmer than 2013-14.

 

Utah, Arizona, and Nevada all joined in on the record warm fun.

 

Then we have the last 12 months.... some pretty eye popping stuff there

If it weren't for the warm December, this would've been the coldest winter in recorded history over much of the Eastern US.

Pretty clear the warmth is outpacing the cold by a wide margin.

 

This is true both nationally and globally.

If it wasn't for not making the playoffs in 2011, losing in the division round in 2012 and losing to the Patriots last month, the Seahawks would have won the last four Super Bowls.  Truly an unprecedented run of dominance.  

My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad.

The irony .. that the Pacific Northwest had a California 'winter'; lots of sun but occasional heavy rainfall every 2 weeks.  Is this the future?

 

This has been one of my main perceptions also where looking a things more from where we are more south "happ".

 

Mentioned also certainly by some others, more from within the PNW.

 

.. "Jesse's" having brought up the idea of a general comparison to a more "Mediterranean" type climate. - http://theweatherfor...thwest/?p=63943

 

And then if only touched on more, within various entries to his main Blog, Cliff Mass has brought up various themes certainly in line with what you've said suggested here above.

 

Here below accessible, are a few of those entries more main, of plenty more that could fit this idea. Beginning from back in late summer of last year.

No.

Death To Warm Anomalies!

Sure, but that's beside the point and is expected in a +ENSO/+Solar/-QBO, especially under a high AAM integral.

Not a very good analogy, but true nonetheless.
