Category D0 still remains and expected to persist as per email received today from NOAA NIDIS.  1.09 precip and 6.9 snow collected at this station for the month of January.  Low temps, windchills, and mean biting cold blowing in your face this week.  Other areas of the country have been affected by snow and cold events.  So at least we are not alone, although it is day 7 of zeros today.  Have seen a few squirrels.  What tiny snow pack we have, I noticed an increase in deer tracks.  We did not have any "exploding trees" however some pieces of bark and a decent sized branch cracked during the cold.  Used rolled up towel along doorway to keep out drafts.  Also a couple space heaters sparingly.  The garage door opener inside my vehicle does not work when I leave.  When I get back home, it works just fine.  So the cold really set in.  Outside the State-Many States experienced the Winter Weather this week.  Stay Safe, Warm and Happy February 1st everyone!
