Weather Tidbits

Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com

Entering this week, January was averaging nearly 8º warmer than normal and I’ve yet to register a below 0º this month. Normally we average 14 days below 0º in January. This past Monday was the first day with sun since January 15, a span of 7 days of clouds and fairly mild temperatures.

We picked up an additional 5.5 inches of snow, bringing our monthly total to 19.7 inches and our seasonal total to 52.8 inches. As luck would have it, ours is about to run out. The Polar Vortex is gaining strength and repositioning to bring us a blast of Arctic air for this weekend and into next week.

Ruff Rescue Pet Of The Week

Chi Chi is a handsome, sweet and gentle Rottweiler/Labrador retriever mix. He is just over a year old and weighs about 40 pounds. Chi Chi is friendly with other people once he gets to know them, and he is social with other pets. He likes to go on walks and explore, and when he’s not outside or playing, Chi Chi loves to snuggle. He is a loverboy who likes neck scratches, belly rubs or just being petted. In fact, when he’s curled up next to you, if you pause, he will remind you he’s still there with a gentle paw on your arm or hand. Chi Chi is house-trained, and when his people are away he does well in a confined room. With time and built trust, he should eventually do fine left in the house by himself.

Chi Chi is intelligent and eager to please. He knows some basic commands and would do well in a formal training program. He is treat-motivated, so training should come relatively easily. If you are interested in learning more about Chi Chi or adopting him, please fill out an application at www.ruffstartrescue.org. Once your application is received, Ruff Start Rescue will contact you as soon as possible.
