Does anyone have any theories as to what happened around 2013? Why was there such a sudden shift to such warm summers? Arctic sea ice collapse in 2012?
46 currently, clouds are slowing down the cooling and it just doesn't seem like we'll get a heavy enough shower to make it over the cascades tonight/tommorow morning to drop some flakes, but a miracle is still possible 4-6 am.
It's just sad to me you aren't impressed with the number of cold troughs we have had the last few months. Many of them have been pretty cold. Just a handful solidly of warm days have resulted in the anomaly for the period being watered down. Below normal days have outnumbered above normal by about 2 to 1 in many places. This has happened while coming out of a big Nino. You're kind of being sour grapes here.
