I'm not picking on Weather.com. Just thought it would be interesting to show what this "warm-up" is doing. The temps for the month are off to the races, but this is mainly due to the vast amount of very warm overnight lows we've had. So even thought the temps have been seasonably warm during the day for the first ten days of January, they've been downright balmy at night. Suppose the overnight low in NYC is 46 (like last night). That raises the actual "mean" temp for the month by a huge margin. WIth the normal "low" temp being closer to 25/26, this means that nyc had a plus 20 for an overnight low, thus skewing the average for the month so far.
Anyway, enough rambling! Here's the charts from weather.com
Notice it's A LOT colder in the west with the actual temps near 0 in a lot of spots. WOW
And for good measure (no pun intended), here's the current snow cover vs the snow cover earlier this month.
