Two months in, it's been a cold winter
FROM TODAY'S PRINT EDITIONS:
Don Dobrow, in Baltimore, asks how January stacked up against December for cold temperatures: “December seemed much colder.” Both were cold, and I think lots of us are ready for a break. December averaged 32.4 degrees at BWI, more than 4 degrees below the 30-year average. January averaged 30.2 degrees, but only 2 degrees colder than the norm. December saw 23 days below the daily averages; January saw 21. Both months included a 10-day stretch of below-average temperatures. I say we’re overdue for a warm spell.

Looks like Accuweather is buying in to Eric the Red's reset scenario: http://www.accuweather.com/us/md/ellicott-city/21042/forecast-month.asp

This is an absolutely crazy winter season for the entire nation. It's cooooold. I'm from Michigan and it's currently 7 degrees. The constant shoveling and continuous bundling up is getting old, real fast. I couldn't agree more with a warm melt. I wanted to share my own SOLUTION to the freezing season...best money spent this year.

If you just look at high temperatures for December and January, there were 47 days below normal, 12 above normal and 3 at normal. Cold any way you slice it. Makes it even harder to believe that we (probably) won't reach even our seasonal average for snow.
