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.
