WeatherWhys for January 15,2015 from accuweather.com

Mid-January corresponds with the middle of meteorological winter. This is also the time of year when normal temperatures reach their lowest levels across most of North America. The reason this cold period does not line up with the first day of winter, when the amount of incoming energy from the sun is lowest, is due to the seasonal lag. The land and oceans continue to lose more heat than is gained this time of year and will do so until mid-February.
