As we roll through January, the start of the year has not been very seasonable and in fact, that trend is going to keep up.

Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln indicates above-normal temperatures and above-normal precipitation is expected to get into February.

Once we get into February, the patterns trend back to more seasonable with a cooler signal and still above-normal precipitation. Shimon says that gives us a good likelihood of snow or ice events.

Shimon points out that the above-normal precipitation trend is taking us into the spring.

Shimon warns if January does not see many winter events, oftentimes when they come back in February or later, motorists often forget about the caution required when driving in those conditions. He reminds to slow down and give yourself plenty of distance between vehicles on the road.
