It was not warm here. It was the coldest winter in 87 years. I’ve never experienced a winter as cold as it was this year, and I don’t have the right clothes to deal with those temperatures. Within a minute of going outside the cold was biting through my warmest clothes as if I wasn’t dressed at all. Thermals, an under layer, an insulating mid layer, a thick 700 fill power down parka, gloves, and a beanie weren’t enough. I was freezing my ass off within a minute outside. These were arctic temperatures in the PNW and it was not fun.

On average, it’s been a lot warmer. But that’s the average and nobody gets the exact average.
