Winter 2014--It Has Been Interesting--Wow!
Here we are January 31, 2014. What a January we have had!
We started 2014 like a lion and I believe January is going to go out like a whole pride of lions. We have gotten the snow and cold . . . pardon me, Sub-Zero Arctic Temps this month in most of the US--this has not happened in decades! Already the snow fall for the month of January has surpassed the snow amount that fell during the Blizzard of 1978--31 inches of snow fell all at once during the blizzard of 78. We have now gotten over 40 inches of snow in the metro-Toledo area!
Let's not forget about the Sub-Zero Arctic Temperatures that came with the storms the first part of January and this last storm that rolled through this past week giving us more Sub-Zero Temps! We were colder that Alaska a few times this month--that is something for the history books! Those temperatures can stay way up North, thank you very much! I will be glad when spring and summer weather comes in and it stays warm for awhile. But, this is winter in Northwest, Ohio and Southeast, Michigan! But enough already! Many schools have used there calamity days--at least the students and staff were home warm and safe. The weather also brought about many days of Level 2 and 3 snow emergencies for the area--have not seen that in quite sometime. Many employers had to close due to the weather. My employer for the first time in history was closed for 3 days in a row when the first round hit and this past week, we were closed for 2 days. This is one of those times that I will, as well as many of us is this Country, will never forget.
We still have February and March to get through yet! Let's hope the weather cooperates and we do not see anymore of those Sub-Zero Arctic Temps or anymore snow! Yeah Right! We would not be that fortunate! January 2014 is certainly going to be one for the record books for much of the US--definitely one for the record books here in the Toledo-metro area as well as Northwest, Ohio and Southeast, Michigan!
