January started with widespread hard-freeze warnings and areas of freezing fog across southeastern Arizona. On Jan. 1, Tucson picked up a trace of snow, with some areas around the Old Pueblo picking up close to 2 inches, making it the first New Year’s snowfall since 1960.

The end of the month was wet and wild, with back-to-back storms causing record-breaking rainfall in the Old Pueblo and high snowfall amounts in the surrounding mountains. It was the fourth-wettest January on record.
