January of 2025 started out to be a tough month across much of Canada the U.S. east of the Rockies. It was the coldest January across most of North America in about 10 years. On Jan. 2, a temperature of -33 degrees Fahrenheit was reported in Saskatchewan, Canada. Measurable snowfall was seen in Dallas, Texas, and Atlanta, Ga., from a winter storm Jan. 9-11. Another big winter storm hit the Gulf Coast on Jan. 20-22 was labelled as a “historic blizzard” for this region, as a state of emergency was issued in Florida and Mississippi. Over 13 inches of snow was reported near Grand Coteau, La., which was the highest amount of snow in the Gulf Coastal region.

In addition to the cold in January, Florida experienced its worst drought in about 24 years. The Everglades were becoming so dry that airboats had to shut down due to the lack of water.
