Well, this is what January was like here:
29 days with snowfall in a row.
21 days in a row of temperatures never rising above freezing.
50-some-odd inches of snow.
5 nights below zero degrees farenheit (about -20 celsius).
at least 5 days with winds over 35 mph.
Grey skies, snow covered streets, salt and slush, etc., etc.
Oh, yes, the local economy is in a depression, too.
