Why so secret? You weren't that mum when you lived in Greater Houston
Yeah you are pretty much right about that. But I feel that the Houston area was so large that it was hard to single out where I was Yeah it is quite a different climate.

I give Bidford-on-Avon (January 2019) an F, just like all winter months. There is simply not enough sunshine. I will post sunshine stats and the final temp and rainfall stats when available.
January was a mild month in Edmonton. The mean temperature was almost 4°C above average with no prolonged spells of cold weather. Data measured at the airport site.
Some big diurnal ranges on some days, unusual for winter, but mostly due to passage of fronts rather than radiational cooling.

PS. Shout out to Cambium for providing the link to the Iowa State University website with the day-by-day data.
Using Bowling Green (it is the closest station to me that is still in Kentucky):
Overall Departure: +1.7F (+0.95C)
Highest Temperature: 69F
Lowest Temperature: 11F
Snowfall: 3.4 inches at Bowling Green (I only had 2.1 inches at my location)
The first 20 days were about +8 to +9F and then we went below average for the last 1/3rd of the month. Overall precipitation was around average, but there were a ton of cloudy day including one where you only saw glimpses of the sun once in a 1-week timeframe. The high temperature mean is about average but the low temperature mean is about 3 to 4 degrees above.
Pros:
- A nice blowing snow event on the 19th.
- An overall solid cold period to close out the month
- Precipitation was around average not too much and not too little
Cons:
- Pacific Northwest style cloudiness (not a huge deal for me but still could have used some sun)
- Lost over half the month to a very non-winter warm pattern
Nice January overall with above average temperatures and sunshine.
Portland only averaged 49°F as the high and 57°F as the warmest day. Thanks, Columbia Gorge!
