There's nothing unusual at all with a January storm track that runs well inland from the Northeast seaboard, pumping above-freezing air into the I-95 corridor, keeping them mainly rain, as is the case, here.
However, this system was expected to spread rain as far north as the Champlain Valley of Vermont and Upstate New York, places you might expect cold air to hold in place to allow more snow, sleet or freezing rain, rather than rain in January.
This also added to the general sluggish, snowless season start in these areas.
However, a pattern change is shaping up to finally bring weather more reminiscent of January to a good swath of the East during the second half of January.
This may make folks in the Northeast pine for the warm, weird early winter of 2015-2016.
