Yeah, like, how long is the cold supposed to last here in the UK? I haven't an idea
What cold? Even some of the cool-feeling days recently have still been around the long-term average - this month will end up above average just like five out of the past six.
To put it into some sort of context how far-fetched that seems to me, our average for today in London is 11C, but nowhere in this country has ever seen above 22.3C on 18th March - and nowhere has ever seen above 25C on any date in the whole of the month!
Then again, I didn't think it was possible to experience a temp. of almost 30C in London in October (with average daytime highs only 15C)....even if it was right at the beginning of October and cooled down rapidly afterwards. So maybe we'll see a hot March day in the not so distant future.
The west side (western half?) of North America doesn't seem to be enjoying the extra early warmth of the east (and center) from what I seem to be getting.
It seems to be a trend sometimes when the east and west are at odds temperature-wise.

Do the Rockies have anything to do with it?
I have never understood why ,or even if, The Rocky Mountains play such an important part in dividing the weather of the US. The East & midwest have cold icy winters with snow and hot humid summers. The West coast , for the most part, has coolish winters and summers and little humidity.
This is especially pronounced on the two coasts. Here in coastal California, we have a Mediterranean climate with temps in the sixties almost all year long. No hot and humid days in summer. No snow or cold days in winter . So different from the East coast on the same lattitude. I know it is The Japanese Current, but I don't even understand really how that works, I'm afraid.
