Morning Express – Wednesday, January 31

I’ll have to check the record books, but my guess is we just had the least amount of snow for the month of January, ever. Right now, even with the few cm we picked up Monday night, we only have about 2 to 3cm on the ground. Not to mention above seasonal temperatures. For today, just some cloud and mild temps and that’s the situation heading into the weekend. We start so see some sun break out on Thursday and slightly cooler air but mainly clear conditions for Friday.
