  The weather in January in our immediate vicinity, while
not as mild as during the preceding month, has been very moderate
 for the middle of winter. It rained more frequently
than it snowed while the maximum depth of snow at any time
was 3 inches on the 12th. Snow fell only on the 10 - 12 -
15- 18 - 28 - 31, and the month closed with the snow but

after the 10th when the first snow fell. Light rain fell on
8 days.
  Though there only six days, the 7 - 9 - 15 - 16 - 17 -
21, when the mercury remained above the freezing point, it
got below 20 + degrees only on the 2 - 3 - 4 - 14 - 19 - 20 - 23 - 29 -
