and forgot to turn off the water spigot in January
Posted by Icon K on Tuesday, February 4, 2020

Someone turned up the heat and forgot to turn off the water spigot last month.

January 2020’s average high temperature was 39.2 degrees and the average low was 27.2 degrees, making the average January temperature slightly above freezing at 33.2 degrees.

Compare those numbers with January’s normal average temperature of 25.4 degrees. 

And,  while most of us don’t remember the snow, January’s total was 5.6 inches. Precipitation was 4.29 inches. Compare that to the normal average precipitation for January of 2.26 inches.

January’s temperatures ranged 56 degrees during the month with a high of 64 on Jan. 11 and a  low was 8 on Jan. 20.
