It's really surprising there's been almost no warming since the 70s... this year excluded of course. I think most other Montana valley locations east of the divide are similar.

Those are widespread 100s to the west on the model, but yeah I wouldn't be surprised of the city of Phoenix overperforms. Your city has broken record of most Winter 60* days by 12, I think (44 vs 32 2nd)

And Phoenix is an extreme outlier for its region, thanks to how much the UHI has expanded. Yet you don't hear mets saying their records are illegitimate.

I90 Eastbound just about to head down to Issaquah a little bit ago: And Issaquah was just wet.

Makes sense after many winters of Kayla posting about ridiculous snow and bitter cold.
