Boise experiences record-breaking January with snowfall and high temperatures

BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — January was a month for the record books, literally.

This January was one of the snowiest months on record. At 22.1 inches of snow, the National Weather Service reports this was the fourth snowiest January in Boise's history, on record, and the seventh snowiest month of all time.

If that wasn't enough weather records for one month, Boise ended the month with three consecutive record high temperatures in a row, topped off with the all time recorded high in any January ever, at 66 degrees.

A cold front moving this direction will return the area back towards average temperatures. Strong winds will usher in cooler temperatures and wide spread rain over Thursday night. Temperatures are expected to remain in the low to mid 40's through Sunday.
