GDPS, as well. GFS, on the other hand: If Friday night/Saturday morning doesn't come to fruition, we may very well have to wait until at least sometime next month for low temps below 20 degrees. This tweet from BAMWX doesn't sound good.

Sounds like Covid cancelled Winter this year.

DAY's snowfall today was 1.4 inches, the highest daily snowfall of this month like last month. All of it has since melted earlier tonight. It looks to be the highest daily snowfall amount for this month. Snowfall total for this month is now 2.2 inches, meaning DAY has now escaped the top 10 least snowiest Januaries on record this year. Current snowfall total for the 2020-21 season is now 8.7 inches. Meanwhile, CVG is currently tied with 1919 for the least snowiest January on record with a total of only 0.2 inches while CMH is currently tied with 1989 for the 7th least snowiest January on record with a total of only 0.6 inches.

This coming Saturday will mark one month since DAY and CVG's previous 1+" snowfall. While CVG had one night with temps dipping down to the teens so far this month, DAY and CMH have yet to have a night when temps dip down to at least the teens. Only one time that DAY and CMH both failed to dip into the teens the entire January was back in January 2006.

Certainly a harbinger of what's coming for the remainder of this month as a whole.

00Z GFS: 00z Euro:

Dipped down to 20 degrees this morning, the coldest low so far this month. Gut feeling we may be writing off January soon. Still very little snowfall through this month and no lows in the teens or below.

12z Euro: 18z GFS: Bulk of the snow on those runs take place on the upcoming Martin Luther King Day.

No sun since Monday. What a joke. Indianapolis is experiencing the cloudiest start to a January since 2005. Current snowfall for this month is 0.3 inches, as of the 5th. Snowfall total for DAY is currently at 6.8 inches. Currently sitting at the 4th least snowiest January on record. Top 10 Least Snowiest Januaries: 1. None - 1944 2. 0.1" - 1989 3. 0.2" - 1923 4. 0.3" - 2021 (as of 1/5) 5. 0.4" - 1916 6. 0.7" - 1950 6 (T). 0.7" - 1919 8. 0.9" - 2020 8 (T). 0.9" 1908 10. 1.0" - 1928

Wonder what those NOAA forecasters think the suicide rates have been recently.

Looks like we're fixing for the cloudiest stretch of the season this week, lasting at least a week, just like during the final third of last January. January 1992 certainly had one of the cloudiest starts to the month in history. Come on, 2nd half of January!

6-10 day: 8-14 day:

Narrow temperature band during the 1st third of this January. Here's to another last January.

The wet and overcast New Year's Day this year marks the start of the long crappy New Year's weekend. Suicide weather tomorrow followed by more rain Sunday. Fifty shades of January 2020 on the horizon over the next 1-2 weeks.
