Winters are warmer, less snowy, shorter and feature more springlike thunderstorms.
Average temperatures between December and February — or meteorological winter — have warmed markedly over the past 150 years.
Back around 1900, Washington’s average winter temperature — blending daytime highs and nighttime lows — was around 35 degrees. Today it’s closer to 40.The trend toward warmer temperatures has diminished snow prospects in an area that often rides the rain-snow line. The increase in average temperatures means more rainstorms and fewer snowstorms. And, when it snows, the flakes are having a harder time sticking. This is especially true early and late in the winter.
