After my last post, I checked the weather....record LOWs for this weekend. Instead of warming, as I said, it is more of a climatic change.
Places like MN are having less snow, but not necessarily higher temps.
That would equate to different patterns in the jet stream and where the moisture is going.
So far this winter, the moisture has gone farther south, especially in the mid US, but the jet stream doesn't flow in a straight line, so it will vary everywhere.
Just another thought.
