Harsh Winter Weather - January 3-10, 2015
| High & Low Temperature Maps | Wind Chills |
A combination of periodic snowfalls and surges of bitter arctic air made for a harsh start to January 2015. Below normal temperatures, brisk winds, and passing weather systems led to nearly non-stop watches, warnings, and advisories for a week, including a blizzard during the afternoon and evening of January 8th. The coldest temperatures were on January 7th when Wind Chill Warnings were in effect for a large part of the region. Nearly all schools were closed that day.
