The contrasting weather between the western and eastern U.S. is rather remarkable. Consider this: Phoenix and Las Vegas have been colder than Chicago and Boston recent mornings: wapo.st/3BH3RbM (1/x)
LOTS of snow has been falling in the West. Up to 28" in Montana and amounts over a foot in the mountains of Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Idaho. Western South Dakota hammered with blizzard conditions today - up to 22" of 70+ mph winds. (2/x) 
Meanwhile, it's been warm in the East for 10 days and is about to get warmer! Predicted highs on Friday. (3/x)
A few notables about the warmth in the East:
* Chicago yet to see 40s this fall, only 2nd time it hasn't done so this late
* Boston also hasn't seen 40s + set to do so latest on record
* DC hasn't fallen below 54, warmest for this late (4/x)
* Chicago yet to see 40s this fall, only 2nd time it hasn't done so this late
* Boston also hasn't seen 40s + set to do so latest on record
* DC hasn't fallen below 54, warmest for this late (4/x)

Here's the temperature difference from normal over the U.S. over the last two weeks. Cold shows up in the West, but look at territory covered by unusual warmth-- fits right into long-term climate warming signal. (5/5)
