The ice coverage in the Gulf is noteworthy, as it's estimated to be near 23%.
While that is still shy of the 30 year normal, this is the highest ice coverage in the Gulf (at this point of the season) since 2020.

It may be hard to believe, but January finished near to slight above average for most of the region.
The month was full of storms and temperature swings - starting cold, before turning really mild and then finishing with another Arctic airmass.

Blowing and drifting has been a big issue and will continue to be a factor into Wednesday, especially for open and exposed areas.
