I saw on the news this evening that Denver just got dumped on by a record blizzard. I also just read today, however, that this January was the third-least snowy on record. Midland, Texas has had more snow thus far this season than Minneapolis or Chicago. What's up with that? On Tuesday (January 31st), only a few of the lower 48 states didn't reach 50 degrees or higher.
Contrast that with Valdez, Alaska, where they have had 328 inches of snow (10 feet above average!!!). Yukon, Alaska hit a record 66 below zero last weekend. This January has been the ninth snowiest for Europe and Asia. It has been so cold that areas of the Black Sea near the Romanian coastline have frozen and rare snowfalls have occurred on Croatian islands in the Adriatic Sea.
