Cityscape // A family walks on the frozen edge of the James River on Sunday, evidence of the frigid conditions that gripped the city over the past two weeks. The first week in January saw temperatures average 17.8 degrees, the coldest for that week since the National Weather Service began taking measurements in Richmond at least 100 years ago. It also broke the average temperature record for the week of 21.1 degrees set in 1918. Good news: Richmond will enjoy ice-melting temperatures this week, with temperatures climbing into the 60s on Friday. The high is expected to be in the 50s Saturday for Gov.-elect Ralph S. Northam’s inauguration before plunging again to the 30s on Sunday and Monday.
