What do you think were key weather issues in shutting down the winter for the PNW? (snow, warm)

DESPITE it being a La NIna we didn't get our Jan 1950 esque winter. Xmas started to turn out but the artic airmass literally rubber banded and did some weird up stuff not behaving at all how it should.

Interestingly enough we AE getting fake cold filter thru finally. I'm down to 20F here at the surface and was 22F yesterday here near Stayton. It may briefly reach teens as the sunrises.

I'm guessing the stubborn high pressure is now to our NW allowing cold air to filter thru the right side of it and I hope it stays this way if we are going to remain dry as I don't like the foggy mornings. Makes me ache all over.

This morning it's 25F with fog again for almost a week of not seeing the sun, despite the lack of rain. I prefer a bit warmer and rain over this cold and fog. I will admit that even freezing fog is easier to deal with than the snow we got in December. It looks like a return to normal warmer and rain this weekend but now showing a chance of some snow Tuesday. We are at 600' elevation in Sammamish, so colder and more snow than down below in the flat areas of Issaquah and Redmond.
