Not sure you have to go too far back at least at GRR although we are pushing some futility records at this point but that looks to change.
First the boring part:
For most January`s in Southwest Michigan getting more than 4 days
in a row with no precipitation is unusual. However, in this
January, it is looking like we can get at least 6 days and if the
00z ECMWF is correct we will get 8 days in a row with no
measurable precipitation! If the 00z GFS is correct, it will only
be 6 days. So, just how unusual is getting a week of no
precipitation in January at GRR? Well the last January at GRR
with at least 7 days in a row with no measurable precipitation was
2013. In that case, we had a trace of precipitation each day. In
2012 we had 8 days with no precipitation at all from the 4th
through the 12th. Since 2013, the longest string of no
precipitation days has been 5 day in 2019. For most January`s at
GRR stings of more than 4 days happens less than once a year.
And now the futility part:
Since at GRR, we will by then be in 2nd place for the least
snowfall on record for the season (through the 15th, assuming it
does not snow until then) with only 7.5 inches of snow, this
could be the change, those who like outdoor winter sports are
looking for. By the way, first place for the least snowfall for
the season, by the 15th of January, is 7.2 inches in 1906.
