1/1/2026 π Happy New Year and a Cold Start to 2026!
βοΈ Surprise Snow Squall Early This Morning
A quick-hitting snow burst around 5 am made roads slick and dangerous. Apologies for missing the heads-up as the models had it, but I didnβt share this!
π¬οΈ Brutal Cold Today
Temps are stuck below freezing with wind gusts up to 40 mph making it feel much colder today, even in the single digits at times!
π‘οΈ Gradual Warm-Up Ahead
Highs climb back into the 30s by the weekend. Next week looks much warmer with 40s early in the week, climbing to the 50s by mid-week.
π Warm January?
While November and December were cold, La NiΓ±a patterns often bring a warmer-than-normal trend. A similar historical setup looked like this in 2001 when December was cold, and January ended up warmer than normal. February saw a turnaround, so we will see!
π₯Ά Cold Days Still Possible
Even in warm patterns, quick cold snaps can still bring snow or a few days of real cold. We are approaching the best time of the year for snow systems, so we will watch what happens.
Hope you had a great New Yearβs Eve and hereβs to a hopeful 2026!
