So you think its been cold? How does January stack up so far?

Moderate Drought Creeping Its Way Into The RoCo
It has certainly been a crazy year for us with the weather here in Rowan County. We are currently sitting on 45.06 inches of rainfall officially for the year. This puts on 4.75 inches above normal for the year.
Our first dose of winter
We have made it to Friday. The talk for the week has been will we get snow and if so how much. As we have progressed through the week I have brought accumulation totals up. You have to keep in mind. The roads will stay wet so this will only be accumulations on grassy surfaces.
