January weather forecast
Vermont, USA

January in Vermont is characterized by its intense cold and snowy conditions, marking it as the coldest month of the year for the state. The state's geography, particularly its proximity to the Canadian North, plays a significant role in influencing its severe winter climate.

Temperatures in January can plummet to extremes. The average low temperatures typically range from 2°F (-16.7°C) to 12°F (-11.1°C). On the other hand, daytime temperatures rarely climb significantly, often hovering just a few degrees higher, resulting in a consistently cold environment throughout the day and night.

While Vermont as a whole experiences cold winters, certain regions face more severe conditions. For instance, areas near the Green Mountains and higher altitudes can experience even lower temperatures, making them notably colder compared to the Connecticut River Valley.

Snow is a defining feature of January in Vermont. The state is no stranger to snowstorms during this month, and some of these storms are capable of depositing substantial amounts of snow. In some regions, deep snow packs often form, a direct result of frequent and intense snowstorms.

Comparatively, December, the month preceding January, gradually transitions into this peak cold, while February, which follows, remains cold but starts showing subtle signs of an impending thaw as the state inches closer to spring. However throughout these winter months, the sun's duration remains limited, with January seeing about 5 hours of sunshine per day, which further intensifies the cold perception.
