That kind of captures the vibe of this non-winter. It truly felt like we went the entire season without ever actually getting cold. It's very disconcerting. Normally winter in the PNW should have some cold spells. We got zero cold spells, minus a few inversions where the atmosphere was still quite warm. We didn't get much precipitation either, so... we really missed winter completely.

Pretty intense thunderstorm going through my area here in the southern thumb of MI right now , not often you see the sky light up from lightning with the ground still mostly snow covered.
