Total precip for the month was 5.83 inches vs a normal of 2.94 inches, a +2.89 inches above average, and slides into 3rd wettest Jan behind 1998's 6.45 and 1996's 6.11, but in front of 1995's 5.53 inches. (Boy, I forgot how wet the mid to late 90's January's were). The wettest day was the 10th with 2.29 inches falling. There were 15 days with measurable, 7 days with a 'T' and 9 dry days. Total snowfall for the month was 5.5 inches vs a normal of 5.8 inches, -0.3 inches below average. The greatest snowfall was on the 16th with 3.1 inches falling. There were 6 days with measurable, 11 days with a 'T', and 14 days with no snow. There were 10 days with measurable snow on the ground. Highest wind recorded was 40 mph on the 14th. There were 4 new records for the month. The 2.29 inches on the 10th set a new daily rainfall. There were two new 'warm minimum's (26 and 27) and a new record high on 27th. Overall a tale of two seasons for the month, average to slightly above beginning and end with a very chilly and wintery middle smashed in between. Very windy for the month as I had 17 days with winds above 25 mph. Records go back to Oct 1979.
