36 with fog and rain here. That and the 47 high yesterday about did the snow in, a few scattered north facing spots have a bit, which will be gone later today.

Just did my monthly numbers so I have it handy here. 13 mornings in the teens and another 4 in single digits, over half the month. 18.6 when averaged out over the month. 6 days never rose above the freezing mark and another 5 days just clipped it topping out at 33.

My numbers for Jan 2022 Total precip was 4.36 inches vs a normal of 2.94 inches, a +1.42 inches above average. The wettest day was the 2nd with 1.46 inches falling. There were 11 days with measurable, 4 days with a 'T' and 16 dry days. Total snowfall for the month was 15.9 inches vs a normal of 5.8 inches, a +10.1 above average. The snowiest day was the 17th with 8.0 inches falling. There were 6 days with measurable snow, 4 days with a 'T' and 21 days with no snow. There was measurable snow on the ground for 18 days, an additional 7 days with a 'T' recorded and 6 days with no snow on ground. The averaged high temp was 38.8 degrees vs a normal of 42.0 degrees, a -3.2 degrees below normal. The warmest temp recorded was 66.0 degrees on the 2nd. The averaged low temp was 18.6 degrees vs a normal of 22.4 degrees, a -3.8 degrees below normal. The coldest temp recorded was 2.5 degrees on the 23rd. The overall averaged temp was 28.7 degrees vs a normal of 32.2 degrees, a -3.5 degrees below normal. The highest wind recorded for the month was 37 mph on the 18th. Several new records for the month. New rainfall records of 1.30 on the 17th and 1.46 on the 2nd. The 8.0 inches on snowfall on the 17th was a new record. On the 2nd, the high of 66.0 was a new record as well as the 49.1 degree low being a new 'warm minimum'. Overall a wet/snowy and cold month once we passed the 2nd day.

OOPS!! DCA: +1.1 NYC: +0.8 BOS: +1.2 ORD: -1.3 ATL: +0.9 IAH: +0.5 DEN: -1.1 PHX: +1.8 SEA: -2.2

Agree. 15.9 inches of snow and snow cover for 18 days, 24 if you want to count the "T's" where the ground was at least white at 7 am, and running about a -4 temp wise on the month. ZERO complaints here after the way the month started on the 1st and 2nd......

01/03 - 1.0 01/04 - 2.3 01/07 - 4.0 01/17 - 8.0 01/18 - 0.2 01/29 - 0.4 Total - 15.9

Same here. Light snow for about 5 hours yesterday with hardly anything to show for it. Then it switched to sprinkles for about two hours before going back to snow after 6 pm and finally accumulating a bit (0.4, lol) but the roads and hard surfaces had a tough time even then with 'stickage'.

Time to toss another log on the fire @jonjon

That is a hefty margin to say the least....

OH...you went too far....

Would the camera be shaking as they ran too?

Hermie's school of dentistry?

Yes??

Christmas

Wasn't a war fought over that?

I'm just sitting here watching the world go by....

LOL at NWS Blacksburg forecast discussion... National Weather Service Blacksburg VA 640 PM EST Sat Jan 22 2022 .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... As of 300 PM EST Saturday... A mammoth area of high pressure (near 1040 mb as it crosses from Canada into the northern Plains), is expected to expand south and east across the central and eastern CONUS for mid- week bringing another round of bitter cold. The airmass is similar to the last one with temperatures of M20-M30 deg C across the Great Lakes and Ontario and M10 to M20 degrees C into the Ohio Valley and New England. The mid- Atlantic will once again have an opportunity to test the single and sub-single digits (deg F) for overnight lows beginning Wednesday night with daytime highs failing to climb above freezing. Wednesday and Thursday appear to be the coldest days with some moderation toward the weekend. Another complex northern stream and southern stream shortwave tag-up is possible for Friday...but if past trends are a reflection, the southern stream feature may once again get suppressed. There always seems to be a model member that forecasts a stormagedon in the long range... so be careful little eyes what you see. The chicken littles will come out to play. At some point the outlier will be right, but keep in mind a blind hog will find an acorn given a little time.

Was 2.8 degrees here this morning at 7 am, coldest of the season so far.

Very likely...

Appears to make me a member of THREE areas, I'm on a triple point, MA/LMA/GL lol

All I got to say is...Get off my lawn you youngsters!

Rain here and 34.4/33.1. Been raining for about an hour. High was forecasted 46, hit 37.7 at 4:03 pm for max.

A little spillover/padding from the lakes... 01/03 - 1.0 01/04 - 2.3 01/07 - 4.0 01/17 - 8.0 01/18 - 0.2 Total - 15.5

that would be a sorta breezy day...
