That actually reminds me a bit of 2010-11, was it also a La Nina?
We were so close to going below zero in January.
February 2015 beat it for cold and snow, but before then I think January 2004 was the coldest month here since January 1994.
Wait I thought 2003-04 was VERY cold, especially December and January when we had those snowstorms-- Heavy snow and temps in the single digits and January 2004 was historically cold! In December we had snow with temps in the teens in early December that is unheardof!
it was mostly or all snow here too, the temps were just too warm to accumulate on anything but grass and car and roof tops and the edges of pavement (driveways, sidewalks, streets)
