The cold July of 1993 must have been pretty anally therapeutic!

You should distract yourself with something less stressful than warm anomalies, like soap operas or sports.

It'll take some 70+ days or 50+ lows the rest of the month for that to happen, as records are starting to gravitate upwards this time of the year. Hardly a lock.

Looks close to average the next two weeks. Jesse can cease prolapsing. Dynamic storm yesterday, those were some strong winds on both sides of the low.

Cold phase hiatus? 2006 to 2012 was sure a fun ride though!

3/11/2007. Never forget.

Always nice to be right

Should be a bunch more soul-sucking debates about it these next few months.

One of these decades it'll happen.

The historically average-ish Januaries of 2007-2009 and 2013 were amazing!

70 degree dewpoints in the summer with this pattern. Preview of coming attractions.

Darn! It seems we just don't do warm as well as we did in the old days!

Thank God that insane February storminess destroyed any lingering West Coast water concerns!

I hope the entire region floods and droughts all day tomorrow.

Our climate really is turning into Scottsdale lite.

You already know the answer to that!

WA did have its warmest February on record. OR came in 3rd.

OLM's numbers matter above all else.

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 Oregon finished a degree warmer than its next warmest March 1-February 28 (1933-34). Washington finished about 0.8 degrees warmer than its next warmest (2004-05). California finished over a degree warmer than its next warmest (2013-14).

Just add 21c to the 850mb temps and subtract 8.00" of QPF from that frame and you got our weather. #newnormal

December 1933 was pretty dramatically different. All time record rains in the PNW with a sharp arctic boundary over BC for most of the month and all time record cold in AK. One of the strongest +EPO stretches on record.

Februaries 1934 and 1885 seemed to be very comparable, but that might be it for the NE back to 1870.

SEA goes back to 1944 and just had their warmest winter on record. Score!

Their records only go back to 1953 at the airport there. Pre 1953 surely killed it.

Only three of them since 1949 (1957-58, 1960-61, 1982-83), four if you count 2012-13 which may not have had accumulations at the airport but they weren't measuring it there anymore.
