Anecdotally, the Pacific northwest is actually seeing dramatic warming, although this year is a little cooler, we have seen dramatic warming in northern CA and OR. I live in an area that 40 years ago had over 300 days a year in the fog - great for the Redwoods, but now we see less than 100 days a year with fog, which generally burns off by noon. Not so good for the Redwoods. Even ten years ago a trip to the beach in the winter included ski jackets and gloves, now a light jacket and a hat for the sun.
