Idaho stays clear and cold as our dry January continues

Posted
and last updated

Cold and clear are the story for the rest of the month but some pretty incredible snow is falling in a place many haven't seen since the 1800's!

New Orleans is seeing some record breaking snow with six inches falling in the south for the first time since 1895. Power outages are expected along with this so the Idaho News 6 team will keep their eye on the situation as it develops.

For reference, Boise has seen only two inches and Twin Falls is just under five inches. Meaning they in the last 24 hours and moving forward, New Orleans could see more snow than both of these regions combined.

It looks as though this will continue for Idaho moving forward. Nothing new rain or snow wise expected for the Gem State for the rest of this month and February is looking dry too. Latest model runs also have a high pressure ridge moving in which would mean a bump in temperatures for Idaho.

This week will stay cold and dry with some wind moving in tomorrow too so be aware of the chill factor that come along with that.

Bundle up but go enjoy the sun, dry conditions are the norm moving forward.
