Has it seemed warmer this year in general throughout the United States? (snowy, warmest)

I live in Arizona, and if anyone has been here, the weather is very hot. We have two seasons: winter and summer. Our winter this year was unseasonably warmer than any other winter we've had. We had about a week of cold temperatures, and that was about it. I am scared of how summer will be here in a couple short months. I feel like every year it gets warmer here?
It's not just Arizona, I have heard of people from different states complaining about warm weather as well.

Is this all in my head or is it really getting warmer everywhere?

Not here in the PNW. Been running well below average here lately.

Yes and it's about time. I'm not complaining.

Maybe the US, but much of Australia, particularly the SE has had a much cooler and cloudier than average summer (and not to mention all the rain).

This is pretty much due to the La Nina, so presumably conditions will be back to normal when the effects weaken.

Yes, no winter in Houston this year

Maybe this would help?

It seems nowhere in the world is reliable for snowy winters anymore except for Alaska and Hokkaido

Well 2010 and 2011 weren't exactly lacking in the snow department in much of the US.

Hmm, that doesn't seem to match up with Arizona though. This winter was on record the warmest winter, so that isn't exactly average

Most of the Northeast and Midwest have been incredibly warm this winter. I usually hate winter, but i was able to handle this year in stride.
