Was never going to be this year. Record snow and cold on the west coast will "steal" all the arctic air.
It's their time though, while we were buried in snow 2000 through 2018 they ROASTED and dealt with an incredible drought.
Now it's their turn for a decade or two.
We will still get good years like 2020/2021, but the lionshare will be theirs.
As the METS say in the NE forum, regression.
