What January feels like
The city goes quiet and cheap after New Year's, and the dry cold here bites less than the same cold would somewhere humid — it is the wind that decides which coat you need. The Sandias hold snow while town stays clear, so you can ski at the crest and eat lunch outside the same day.
Real rain shows up maybe one day all month; the rest stay dry. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
