It was in the 50s and and 60s last month in the Portland - Vancouver Metro area except for 1 week where it was in the teens
It's supposed to be way colder than that
Hell a century ago the Columbia River froze over, it hasn't been even remotely close to that in a long fuckin time
You're telling me it's not normal to swing from 20 below average to 20 above average in a climate that's supposed to be fairly stable due to the nearby ocean?
Few days before Christmas I was working outside in a t shirt in the midwest
When I was a kid it wasn't uncommon to get out first days of below freezing weather in October
Last October I wore a sweater only a couple times (edit: by only a couple times I mean it was so warm I was wearing a T-shirt the rest of the month)
This year it's barely dipped below freezing except for the week we had an ice strom this year
Until I was about 7 it was common to get snow before Christmas and often times as early as Thanksgiving
Nowadays the song "White Christmas" does feel like a dream of a bygone era
