Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, February 1, 2015

Raise your hand if you thought January 2015 was colder than most Januarys.

There's lot of hands raised out there and you are correct. According to Guy Verhoff, Pandora weather observer, the average January 2015 daily temperature was 21.6 degrees.

The normal January daily temperature is 25.4 degrees.

Even though it was a colder-than-normal January the highs and lows included a 59 degree fluxuation. The high temperature of January was 51 on Jan. 3. The low was seven days later at minus 8. That mark was one of six January days that reached minus zero degrees.

Snowfall for the month included 13.1 inches.
