That would put Seattle right on the boundary line where Arctic air meets and Pacific moisture deposits. January 1950.

This deserves more discussion and exposure. The smug left responds with the following: 1. The messenger is xenophobic and/or racist; 2. Divert immediately to how Tump is a bad orange man; 3. The main issue is ignored. Crickets. It’s easy to get sidetracked with the inherent pettiness (I’m guilty of that too) of politics of crowd size, who goes where…. I’ve yet to see the Democrats & Democrat supporters here and elsewhere intelligently address this without reverting to the points above.

New month. Hopefully it can be a little cooler but no Arctic cold until late November, please.

1948-49 is the coldest winter here. 1978-79 is the 2nd coldest. December 1983 is the coldest December. November 1985 is the coldest November. February 2019 was colder than February 1989. January 1950 was cold, but so was January 1937, January 1949, January 1957, January 1969, and January 1979. Of the last 5 years mentioned, none of those years were strong la niñas.

I can't imagine someone like Trump would be president. But it happened! Too bad he aligns himself with Republican ideals.
