Low was 5.4 degrees, a new record for the date, beating 1995's 7 degrees. Currently 7.3/1.0 at 8 am.

Set a new 'cool max' for the date at 20.6 degrees. Old mark was 28 degrees from 2010 and 1995. Low this morning was 6.5 degrees, no record.

So back to the early/mid December look. Model atmospheric memory at work.

And wind, can't forget (is that possible?) the number of days we've gusted 30, 40, 50 mph this winter.

Had a 46 mph gust at 2:20 am here. About an inch of snow, though that is an average as last night's wind whipped stuff was a struggle to measure. Absolute crazy 15 minutes last night around 1:30 am. Snow and wind brought vis down to a couple hundred feet at most a couple of times. Easily would have been 2-3 inches if it had continued for an hour. At 7 am CoCoRaHS report I had spots that had been cleared still clear and spots in corners/edges with 6" of new snow. Currently 17.4/1.1 at 10:50 am with NNW wind at 10 gusting to 26 mph, WC 5 to -1.

11/11 0.1 11/30 0.1 12/02 0.2 (sleet) 12/05 3.8 12/06 1.5 12/08 0.5 12/09 5.1 01/17 0.1 01/25 4.5 (mix of snow and sleet) 01/26 2.8 (95-97% sleet) 02/04 0.3 02/07 1.0 Total 20.0

Not sure how long we will be in this band/squall going thru but she's a doing it right now. This camera about 3 miles from the house.

Because you don't make 150K/year?

Light snow last 1/2 hour, 28.8/22.7. Just starting to whiten things up that aren't already white.

Is there a 'person of retirement age' spot to post in the medium-long range discussion? Unless the SS increases dramatically, I won't make that level.

A whole year's salary??

WOW. I'm with @psuhoffman on this one, someone needs to go with @dailylurker on a LES Tug Hill event and get a healthy snow fix, stat.

Made me go look. A LIGHT snow is falling here. It'll have to pick up the pace to amount to anything, but still nice to see falling. 32.0/29.8

Hey, don't get too upset, I got 0.3 out of it.

If you want to count 0.3" as anything, yes, lol.

You know better than that, it'll be 0.2"!

11/11 0.1 11/30 0.1 12/02 0.2 (sleet) 12/05 3.8 12/06 1.5 12/08 0.5 12/09 5.1 01/17 0.1 01/25 4.5 (mix of snow and sleet) 01/26 2.8 (95-97% sleet) 02/04 0.3 Total 19.0

A VERY light snow was falling at 7 am this morning with quite foggy conditions. I had a massive 0.3" on the board and open areas (driveway/sidewalks), but 0.5" on the old snow? Anyway, stuck with the board. Trees are pretty with the snow hanging on them. It was 31.5/29.6 at 7 am, now 31.8/30.0 at 8:30 am with just some fog.

I was a mix for almost 2 hours at 33 degrees!! Flakes are twice the size they were 20 minutes ago. Maybe we actually get something??

The mix has gone over to all snow here, just starting to stick/accumulate. 32.2/29.5.

33.4/29.6 with a drizzle/flurry mix falling at 7 pm here.

Yep. Some of my favorite winters 79/80, 81/82, 86/87, 95/96, 09/10, 10/11, 13/14 and 24/25. Why? Because they ALL had a minimum of 30 days of at least an inch OTG at 7 am. Not all of them were the most snowfall of my years, but with some cold the snow hung around the most.

So finally creeped just above freezing yesterday with a 33.0 high first time in 10 days. Was above 32 for about an hour. With only 10 mph winds it felt like 60 lol. MUCH warmer overnight, never went below 20 degrees here, that also is a first in about 10 days.

Second day in a row of setting a 'cool max'. High was 21.2 degrees; old mark was 23.0 degrees from 1980. Low was 7.9 degrees, which is current temp. Still 4.5" of concrete OTG with a SWE of 1.65".

My numbers for the month of January 2026 Averaged high was 39.8 degrees vs a normal of 42.0 degrees, -2.2 degrees below average. The warmest temp was 60.5 degrees on the 12th. Averaged low was 19.4 degrees vs a normal of 22.4 degrees, -3.0 degrees below average. The coldest temp recoded was 1.8 degrees on the 27th and 28th. Overall averaged temp was 29.6 degrees vs a normal of 32.2 degrees, -2.6 degrees below average. Total precip for the month was 2.84 inches vs a normal of 2.94 inches, a -0.10 inches below average. The wettest day was the 25th with 1.05 inches. There were 7 days with measurable, 7 days with a 'T' and 17 dry days. Total snowfall for the month was 7.4 inches vs a normal of 5.8 inches, a +1.6 inches above average. The snowiest day was the 25th with 4.5 inches falling. There were 3 days with measurable, 9 days with a 'T' and 19 snowless days. There were 7 days with SOTG at 7 am. Highest wind recorded was 42 mph on the 12th. There were 21 days with winds above 25 mph. Two new records for the month a new 'cool max' on the 27th and a new snowfall record on the 25th. Overall a cold and very windy month with close to average precip and snow. A strange feature of the month was the number of days with either a warmer 'night' than day or a colder 'day' than night, in total that happened 14 times.
