I saw the weather map on CNN today and there was a low pressure right over Colorado, and it looked like air was comming up from the gulf of mexico, all the way north to Canada, and swirling back around behind the low pressure in Colorado... Am I reading the map wrong? Is that weather pattern unusual?

If warm, moist air from the Gulf is coming all the way up to Canada in winter, that is unusual. You may be reading the map wrong, cause I live in Texas, and the south wind is barely blowing, so I don't think it's reaching CO. The wind in north Colorado is from the ENE. Canada almost never gets a southerly flow from the Gulf. That is a rare occurence in every season except summer, and even then it's about half the time.

You can't really judge weather on a single micro instance. To get a grasp on the weather being normal or strange you have to look at it globally for a span of time. Then trends can be detected.
