The month of January is expected to be extra cold with freezing temps sticking around for weeks. Warm blankets and thick jackets are going to be a must this year.

The Spring thaw isn’t expected to come early either. Get your firewood ready and prepare to snuggle in by the fireplace for a while this year.
