14.4 inches of snow
expected this month
The winter season continues
through January. Temperatures con-
tinue to get colder, but on the pos-
itive side, the days are getting
longer.
The average temperature for the
month, usually the coldest month of
the year, is 32 F which is 0.6 F
colder than December. The prevail-
ing winds will be from the north-
east at a speed of 15 knots. Chill
Index II will be an almost daily oc-
currence with frequent occurances of
Chill Index III (Wind Chill Temper-
atures of minus 10 F or colder).
Snow can be expected on over half
the days of the month with a total
accumulation averaging 14.4 inches.
Thirty inches of snow was recorded
last January. Major storms origi-
nate off of Newfoundland and pro-
ceed to the southern tip of Green-
land, where the storm track splits.
One track proceeds northward along
Greenland's west coast while the
second track moves northeastward
through the Denmark straits along
the west coast of Iceland. A peak
wind gust of 73 knots was recorded
in January 1958 from one of these
storms.
Sunrise will be at 11:21 a.m. and
sunset at 3:46 p.m. on Jan. 1 for a
total of four hours and 25 minutes
