Beating that 26.4 mark isn’t too tough if you have moderately chilly temps in late January; anything that keeps that 2nd half of the month below 33.4 will do. But beating the 24.5 in December 1985? That’s almost a full 2 degrees colder and would require temps averaging 29 or below these next 2 weeks.

I don’t think I’d appreciate having to put up with additional snow and ice next week, in order to get the cold numbers required for that…

Staying below 26.4 simply requires that the 2nd half of the month is colder than 33.4 degrees, which is very doable if long-range temperature maps for the Western U.S. are to be believed. But beating December 1985? We’d need to be about 4 or 5 degrees colder than that, I believe, and that would probably require another actual cold spell in late January.
At this point I don’t think I’d appreciate the extra snow and ice that another cold blast would most likely imply.
