Cumulative monthly precipitation, in inches, compared with normal. Precipitation totals are rainfall plus the liquid equivalent of any frozen precipitation.

Temperature and precipitation data are provided by AccuWeather. The normal range of temperature is calculated by normalizing the weather from 1981 to 2010.

Data for some cities are incomplete. When actual or historical temperatures were missing, the corresponding bar is not shown for that day. The data presented here are as they were recorded on Jan. 22, 2016.
