Most of Metro Vancouver received at least a dusting of snow overnight but Victoria (southern Vancouver Island) received 7cm! They are the mildest city in Canada during winter and have now gotten their first snow before cities like Toronto and Montreal. Pretty crazy.
Looks like the short-term climate is changing but not the way people thought: Hotter, drier summers with colder, snowier winters. I could live with that.

I think winters are still warming overall. It's just that people notice colder than normal winters more than milder than normal winters. Same with summer heat. 2014 and 2015 were fairly tame summers for much of the east, and the winters of 2015-16 and 2016-17 were fairly mild, for example.
A look at this mornings 5000' temps and upper height pattern
While the Polar Vortex is staying up there, All that pink (-10C & colder) is building up over Canada. And we'll have to see if it starts dipping into the U.S for some arctic outbreaks. Montana is already feeling a piece of it.
Otherwise we have pretty much a warm zonal flow across the country with no defined trough/ridge pattern.
Actually, there is a trough in the PacNW down to the Pacific, sorry. Forgot to outline it.

Been warming up since 1990 in my area. Just the last 6 winters have been super warm. This fall- winter will just as hot as last years...
Dumbest f**king s**t I've read in my life you braindead hack. I think what you meant to say was " I neglected to maintain my PWS on my roof so all the spiders, wasps and ants moved in causing the readings to become artificially high over the years, but nah, it is actually proof of that leftist greentard global warming hoax and while I will believe anything the f**king subhuman dog c**t liberals feed me, it does infact make my climate what I want it to be".
Go back to grade 1 handwriting ya tardheap
Like i buy anything the DEMwits say jay. I have my own records going back from the 70's jack. Plus i don't have a PWS jess.

By the way, in the Indianapolis area at least, there have been 4 winters since the winter of 1997-1998 that have been warm enough to make the top 10 warmest winters on modern record, (the winter of 2016-2017 was a top 10 warmest winter) so with that in mind, I would say that based on that bit of statistical data by itself, that the climate has been generally getting warmer in Indianapolis since the year 1998.
