What January feels like

January is the cheapest month to be in Asheville and the breweries fill with locals rather than bachelorette parties. Snow falls a few times most winters, and the Blue Ridge Parkway closes at the first hint of ice, often for weeks at a stretch.

Winter is doing its thing: 3.8 in of snow in a typical January, with fresh snow on about 3 days. about 20 nights dip below freezing.
