Temperatures were down, and snowfall up in January.

Normal snowfall for January hits around 5 and three quarter inches. But, the snow totaled 11 and 3 tenths inches last month. That’s close to six inches more than normal.

It was fueled by the 8 inch snowfall on the 5th and 6th. And, we were snow-less over the last 18 days until a dusting of snow on the 31st. Snow was measurable on 7 of the 31 days in January.

It was the snowiest January since we had over 11 inches in 2019.

The snow was dry. The total precipitation from rain and melted snow reached just over a half an inch. That’s a full inch below normal.

Temperatures were down in January. The average reading was 23-point-3 degrees. That is 3 degrees colder than normal.

We topped out at 54 on the 30th, and hit 7-below as our coldest reading on the 22nd. We fell below zero on three of the 31 nights in January.
