It has been colder than usual in the upper midwest in the great lakes regions. We got down to 33 degrees one morning in august. Then thanksgiving we got a huge storm and that snow is mostly still on the ground, arctic air masses overhead all week.

Somehow we miss all the warming here, we get more warm snaps in the winter, but the summers have been getting cooler too, we have net zero temperature gain. But last year in the north we got way way more snow than normal, and this year we are above normal too.
