Wacky Weather Week

Not only did the stateline have a wacky weather week (and we have some more in store this week)...but so did other states across the country.

Here are a few articles:

The first is a story from the The Jackson Citizen Patriot in Jackson, MI.
Monday Jan. 8th.

A man ran down W. Washington Avenue in shorts and a T-shirt, coats were deemed unnecessary and the snow that blanketed Jackson County only a week ago all but disappeared.
Had residents not known the date and season, they might have been convinced Monday that spring had arrived.
Temperatures soared to 64 degrees in Jackson, breaking a 19-year-old record for Jan. 7 by 9 degrees.

The previous record high was 55 degrees, said Michael Sager, a meteorologist at Accuweather.com.
A normal high for this time of the year is 30 degrees, Sager said.
The usual low? A frigid, scarf-worthy 15 degrees.
Monday, temperatures didn't drop below the mid-50s.
The warm weather even made possible a Jackson County tornado watch, which happens maybe once every 10 or 20 years in January in Michigan, Sager said.
But don't store the gloves and hats yet. Temperatures were forecast to
be back in the 30s tonight and Wednesday.


In Buffalo New York....winds up to 60 mph have knocked down power lines and branches leaving 45,000 resdients across Western New York without power.

Temperatures broke records on Monday in Paduch, Kentucky with a high of 69 degrees.
