    It’s because Feb 1-12 2026 has been brutal (coldest in many years) while Feb 1-12 of 2025 was the warmest in many decades in much of SE.

    True but early January was touchy for many of us. I didn't get below freezing until the middle of the month where as Jan 2025 was brutal until the last week. I guess it all evened out.

    I had a very mild morning low of 45.9° after a high yesterday of 66.2°. This morning was the first since January 14th that the temperature didn't fall below freezing overnight in my backyard. Yesterday was a big snowmelt day and in its wake, I have noticed a few patches of snow mold.

    Never heard of that. We had a low of 54 and ended with .17" of rain. Nothing left but dirty piles of snow in parking lots.

    Dewpoints around zero in the Triad

    Ours are in the single digits. Driest air yet for us. We dropped to 3 at one point. Humidity in the house is at 26% with the humidifier going full speed.

  4. Low of 31, high of 35. .05" of rain after midnight. We had a major melting last night from the rain. Lots of snow still but grass showing too. Roads all clear. Had a few snow showers a few hours ago amounting to nothing.

     

     

     

  5. We have had filtered sun all day and it only hit 45 so far but the snow is melting fast. Our street gets full sun and it is very slushy with some bare spots now. Bottomed at 17 this morning. I finally cleared most of my double car driveway except for 1 mound where I had no place to put the snow.

    My morning low just west of Eden was 4.1°. There were several other locations in Rockingham County that were colder. The coldest temperatures I could find were in the Madison area, where two personal weather stations, KNCMADIS60 and KNCMADIS38 dropped to -4.5° and -3.5°, respectively. KSIF dropped to 2.3° at 7:35am.

    Both the Dan and Smith rivers are frozen over in several locations. The first picture is of the Dan taken from the Hwy 87 bridge, and the second, the Smith taken in North Spray.

    I've only seen this much ice on the rivers a handful of times over the years. In January 1985 Eden saw temperatures fall well below zero a couple of nights, and highs only reached the mid-teens during the day. This is also when I recorded the lowest temperature in Eden since I first began keeping records in 1981. I had a morning low of -11° on the 21st and -6° on the 22nd.

    I was much younger and foolish back then, and my friends and I walked across the Smith River during that cold spell. The pictures below were taken on January 23, 1985 and are of me standing in the middle of the river and my friend Robert as he was walking across.

    That was an epic cold spell. I lived in Virginia Beach and we dropped to -4. It was the coldest ever recorded there. Record still holds I believe.
