How are we warm the first 10 days of the month ? I mean beer? It’s in the teens and 20’s for highs thru Tuesday . That’s Jan 6th. Maybe after that a few milder days but to say the first week of Jan is warm when it’s WBN is simply wrong 

Warming. Not warm. It gets pretty warm after 1/7

Who said first week? Seems like after the 7th we go AN for several days.

He got all sensy where brooklyn said it’ll warm up for the first 10 days of the month or so.

probably should have specified the 5-10th but whatever, cold and dry doesn’t do much for me anyway

I’ve seen several posts here that say the first 10 days of the month are warming. It’s WBN they day 7. It’s a few days after the first 10 days

We’ve been about 3-5 degrees below average for most of the winter; 40+ with no wind is going to feel like a torch.

Happy New Year! Here are 2025's weather numbers for my location:

Average Temperature: 42.0° F
High Temperature: 85.6° F (6/24)
Low Temperature: -7.5° F (1/22)
Total Precipitation: 60.10"
Total Snowfall: 147.1"

Not a terribly exciting year weather wise and no real extremes, but a bit cooler overall than the past few. Just for reference, 2024's average temperature was 44.2° F. Rainfall was measured with a Stratus rain gauge, snowfall according to CoCoRaHS protocol.

Rollover Tide

With the warmup ensuing after the first week and little qpf in the offing, it's starting to look to me like January may be a lost cause.  The upcoming pattern doesn't appear very favorable.  These little quick shots aren't going to do it.

With 3 losses, Alabama shouldn't even be in this playoff.  They got in because of their name and past history.  They will soon have 4 losses.

First half is a lost cause, which isn't news to me, but it sucks that most squandered December (I know it was great for CT...I get it).
