A cold frontal passage on the 13th initiated about a two week run of unseasonably cold weather, even by January standards across the Delmarva Peninsula. The coldest morning was the morning of the 18th as low temperatures dipped into the single numbers. For many places, this was the coldest day in three years. Minimum temperatures for most days were in the teens. The extreme cold filled homeless shelters to capacity. In addition the number of vehicle batteries dying and parking brakes freezing increased. Calls to heating oil firms and utilities rose dramatically. Several water mains broke because of the extreme cold. Lowest temperatures included 5 degrees at the Baltimore-Washington International Airport and 13 degrees in Stevensville (Queen Anne's County). This cold snap was a major contributor to the monthly mean temperature at Baltimore-Washington International Airport averaging 4.0 degrees below normal. The monthly mean temperature of 28.3 degrees was the coldest January and the coldest winter month since 1994 (27. 1 degrees).
