My parents, my son, and my brother and his wife and their kids all live in Portland, Oregon. Not terribly cold, but much more snow than they are used to.
My folks are in Norway right now, north of Bergen a bit. It is warmer there!

Avalanches and rockslides all over the place.

By the way, that website link had a great story on negative AO that I forgot to post:

good illustrations halfway down the page:

I think we can rename negative AO: INSANEAO

Barb interesting how this spring is shaping up on the west coast. If we have a cooler spring than normal it should be a hotter summer and warmer fall. Who knows with the crazy weather lately!

I'll be out there in 90 days and very much looking forward to it. Whatever the weather may be, as I know it won't hit 40 C even once. :lol:
