Yeah the past few years the January thaw has been like mid 50's or more. This coming warm up is much more subdued. Tenor of the season so far. Cold or cooler regime reigns.
One month of winter in the books. Above 1/3 of my normal snowfall for the season is pretty impressive. 13.6" so far. Normal is around 35" or so. Looking forward to the 'warm up'; such as it may be, in the latter part of January.
Unlike most people here, I do not enjoy cold weather. I like snow, it's beautiful and obviously better to look at than brown sticks and grass, but my preferred weather is warm and green.
45/44 and this rain ain't gonna get it done. The pack is shrinking but I don't think it's going to disappear. Should still have some left over once this is all said and done.
