They have been from the mid 20’s to the low 50’s. We’ve had some heavy frost and hard freezes. The heat has been running at night and the windows open during the day. The grass is mainly brown with a few green patches. Local ponds are low to dry. The AQI is in the good range. |

| Only a trace of precip over the week, all from occasional flurries on a couple of different days. Waterways are frozen up but their levels appear normal. The ground is definitely frozen after the last 2 weeks of seriously cold weather, with more normal temps on the way. So it seems near normal soil conditions are about right for now. There's still about 3" of snow on the ground with many open fields blown mostly clear. Deer have been about and in hay fields they have been busy digging up available grasses. I haven't seen any signs of active mice inside lately so maybe the smarter ones have figured out that it's safer to stay outside. The dumber ones are outside too, just not too active. |

| Streams and rivers are running at fairly normal levels, all with ice building up at the shoreline. Over the past week snow brought a total of 1.45" of liquid value. Snowpack this morning averages at 13.0" (1.89" liquid). Earlier this week birds were particularly aggressive acting amongst themselves at the feeders. There was a strong snow storm but I have viewed the birds during past storms and this activity was different. I have been a bird watcher for decades so noted this behavior as non-typical. They are acting normal as of yesterday. Snow remains on most trees and shrubs. |

| Weekly precipitation was snow, mainly from last weekend's storm when we received 15.5 inches of snow. (Gauge overflowed with snow, unable to obain and report SWE). On Monday, snow flurries resulted in 0.05 inch SWE. Very cold temperatures are in place and the snowpack has not decreased too much. The bird feeder has needed more frequent filling.

| It’s been a relatively quiet Winter so far for us. One big storm happened a week ago leaving us with 17.5” of snow. An additional 4” fell later that evening. No significant melting had occurred since then. Plenty of icicles formed on all gutters. Driveway hasn’t had much chance of clearing. This has been the most snow we’ve had in the past 5 years. Taking about a week to clean up from this storm. But the cold is the major story today. Bitter cold in place. Haven’t seen much for wildlife in the past week. Did see our resident rabbit out and about a few nights ago. Wild turkeys fly in everyday to eat seed on ground left by birds around the feeders. Have not seen the raccoons,deer or fox in several weeks. |

So fire danger is low, but garden plants suffered even when covered. This is the most rain since October, so makes ground moisture better, but still far from "average". |

| Monthly precipitation ends at 2.98", slightly below January NOAA mean of 3.20" or 93% of normal. An all rain event (1.47") Jan. 10-11 and a snow/sleet event (1.42") Jan. 25-26 provided nearly all the precip. for the month but that precip. is locked up in snow and ice. Temperatures the second half of the month fell way below normal after a very mild first half and January will end up close to -3F below 30-year mean. The water year (Oct. 1-Jan. 31) precipitation continues in a substantial deficit with a total of 7.42" (-5.12") or 59% of normal precipitation for that period.
Hydrologic indicators declined substantially in the past two weeks as snow and cold have limited runoff to near zero. The USGS gage on the Roanoke River at Roanoke 7-day flow (as of 1/30) has fallen to 71 cfs or the 3rd percentile of all flows for the date (18% of median) and now classified as Severe Hydrologic Drought (<5th percentile). Carvins Cove local water supply reservoir (as of 1/30) dropped to -11.6 feet below full pond (72.2% of capacity) -0.9 ft. drop in the past two weeks. The US Drought Monitor (USDM) map valid as of 1/27/26 is unchanged over the past 2 weeks with Moderate Drought conditions (D1) across most of western VA and Severe Drought (D2) just east of the Roanoke area in most of central and northern VA.
Per NWS CPC (1/26/26) La Niña remains present in the tropical Pacific but not very robust, with a 3-month Oceanic Niño Index (ONI) of -0.5 for the OND 3-month period.
Moderately Dry seems entirely appropriate with the declining hydrologic indicators. Hopefully melting snow next week or two will bring some improvement but we need more precipitation. |

The snow that fell was dry and powdery, light as a feather. No problem to shovel, but blows with the slightest wind. Many drifts. One snow clearing does not last long. This very fine snow is unusual for here; comes with the unusually cold air. We've had a few snow days due to road conditions, poor visibility. No melting this week, too cold. The inlet is fully frozen. A few deer have come through looking for food. They go to great lengths to get tree Lichen, which is plentiful on dying trees. Not many crows. Any animal tracks have been wind blown. It is now a bit light out by 0700. No more flashlight! Yay. And to cap off, we are under yet another SWSt (3rd this mth) for Sun/Mon, for more snow/wind. And to think back at the start of Jan, I wondered, will we get any snow? Careful what you ponder on! |
