It's official and substantiated by NOAA and Rutgers University's Meteorology Department: January 2008 was the second snowiest month in the northern hemisphere, second only to that February we remember all to well in 1978.
The map below, from NOAA, shows the extent of the snow and ice pack last month. Add to that some record snow and cold events in Saudi Arabia, Iraq and China (some records dating back 30-100 years).

I've been at FOX8 for almost 20 years now and enjoying the new challenge of weekday evenings on FOX 8 News at 5 PM. Even more enjoyable is the chance to work side-by-side with the dean of Cleveland weather, Dick Goddard, at 6 and 10 PM. I enjoy meteorology, film making, mountain climbing and anything that brings my family together. Married to another meteorologist, Sally Bernier, who hosts Sunday morning weather segments on FOX 8 New Sunday morning.
