An SSW is supposed to take place later this week. However, it's a displaced SSW. https://www.netweather.tv/weather-forecasts/news/11828-will-the-sudden-stratospheric-warming-next-week-bring-winters-revenge

Perfect Sunday. Haven't had this clear of a day since December.

It's official! Chicago has experienced its cloudiest January ever with only 18% of sunshine. The previous record was 20% of sunshine back in January 1998. https://wgntv.com/weather/tom-skilling/skilling-just-how-cloudy-and-cold-was-january/

5th warmest January ever

Can't be as worse as January, right?

Today looks to be the only day for any sunshine this week. Tomorrow looks to be the start of a long overcast stretch that should last through the remainder of this month.

But....

Got 3.6" out of the system. Largest snowfall of the season yet. Now at 9.1" for the season and 6.7" since Dec 1.

An article from January 6th states that Chicago had it's cloudiest open to January since 1992 (followed by the Pinatubo-induced cold summer later that year). https://wgntv.com/tom-skilling-2/brace-for-a-cloudy-cold-and-breezy-weekend/ As of January 20th, possible sunshine for Chicago is only 19%. Chicago's cloudiest January on record was in 1998 with only 20% of possible sunshine. Today was Chicago's 7th consecutive day without sunshine. Based on how the upcoming week is going to be, Chicago may very well break the January record for lowest sunshine this month. https://wgntv.com/weather/weather-blog/a-mild-work-week-without-sunshine-and-the-potential-for-measurable-snow/ Top 5 Least Sunniest Januaries in Chicago: 1(T). 1998 - 20% 1(T). 2023 - 20% (as of 1/20) 3. 2017 - 23% 4(T). 2014 - 25% 4(T). 2020 - 25% Top 10 Greatest number of days in January with 0% sunshine for Chicago: 1. 1998 - 20 days 2(T). 1932 -16 days 2(T). 1969 - 16 days 2(T). 2017 - 16 days 2(T). 2020 - 16 days 2(T). 2021 - 16 days 7. 1963 - 15 days 8(T). 1914 - 14 days 8(T). 1992 - 14 days 10. 1911 - 13 days https://wgntv.com/weather/weather-blog/mild-relatively-snowless-and-cloudy-january-continues-snow-chances-for-chicago-this-weekend-and-mid-week/ Even in Chicago, just not our month for sunshine.

Damn, it's odd seeing this narrow of a temperature band in almost the entire 10-day, especially for the final 3rd of January.

Same here, but also a brief period of rain during the afternoon. Entering the final third of January with still a trace of snow for this month. Going to be a long crappy weekend.

Already in the 2nd half of January with only a trace of snow so far this month.

Nail in the coffin #SpringisComing

First completely dry weekend of 2023.

The first sunshine of the year.

-0.4 for the month

Definitely wasted a dry New Year's Day with wall-to-wall overcast skies.

Today is not only the end of 2022, but it begins with what looks to be a long overcast stretch that looks to be around by at least near the end of the first work of the new year.

CPC stuck a fork in January.

Absolute trainwreck ahead, abandon all hope. Very warm open to the month similar to January '98.

The constant cloud cover much of this month pretty much killed this December. Shades of December '14. This will be one of those weeks we'll be lucky to have one day of sun (besides Christmas), particularly Wednesday. Suicide weather expected tomorrow. We are to get a long crappy New Year's weekend afterwards.

Only got a tenth of an inch of snow. Some "screamer."
