Weather pattern in the Western US has definitely shifted towards winter. A little late for it, but snow making it's way down to Flagstaff Arizona for tomorrow morning.
Will continue to see that pattern through at least early next week - and perhaps longer than that.
@chattwjonathan Oh, do you get snow that far south? I thought basically the southern half of USA wouldn't get snow.
@trinsec Flagstaff is at about 7000 ft / 2100m elevation - so in the winter months, more than half of it's precipitation falls as snow. The mountains also help wring out more precipitation than the surrounding deserts.
@chattwjonathan Huh neat. And there I am, with my sea level country. ;) We get plenty of rain though.
@chattwjonathan It's kinda ridiculous when you realize that northern USA (not counting Alaska) is basically the same level as the southern half of Europe.
But yeah, we've got overall a very mild sea climate. A little bit more east (into Germany) and you've got more chances on snow already as it changes into a more land climate.
