that cold pool south of AK is cause for concern for sure. We've also been dry out side of the last week of October....want storms right now even if they're cutters
it was warm enough here on xmas eve last year that we hosted an outdoor champagne toast that morning on our driveway since indoor gatherings were not recommended. Memorial Day weekend and July 4th weekend each had a day that was COLDER than Xmas eve last year. Crazy how warm the last 10 days of December tend to be lately.
one big snow storm mid Dec, Jan was slightly above average temps with little to no snow, 2/1 to 2/21 was the big snow blitz. March average temps no snow.
