NOAA validates cold December

On the heels of a chilly December we are experiencing a very cold January. Temperatures are running about five to seven degrees below the thirty year normal.

I appreciate NOAA's transparency in showing the magnitude of the December chill. Our region of the country was originally forecast to have a rather high probability of above normal temperatures this winter season, acording to the Climate Prediction Center outlook released in mid November..
