Boohoo; Seattle just had some of their warmest years on modern record until this past winter.......for those of you who live in Seattle, do me a favor and either stop complaining about the cool/cold, gloomy and rainy weather there or move away to your preferred climatein the meantime, while you natives of Seattle basked in highly unusual and anomalous warmth for 2014, 2015, and 2016, us Midwesterners and people in the whole eastern two thirds of the lower 48 states had to suffer through some of the harshest winters in decades; so I guess what goes around comes around- even from a weather/ climactic standpoint,that pacific blob probably gave people in the eastern two thirds of this country enough cold and snow for some people to be done and sick of winter for the next several years.
May 4 (yesterday) reached 76F, so everyone was wrong. Portland hit 85F by the way. Seattle is not London. It's not on an island and heat waves are much more common in the summer (similarly winters are more prone to cold waves). 86F is almost guaranteed at some point. Even the worst summers have hit 86F. 2011 only saw 86 once, but 85F 5 times.

I don't think it will happen this year.. also if it hits 86F so much more despite similar averages to us you must be more prone to colder weather too in summer?
