What January feels like

January is the dependable month for snow on the ground, and the mountains east of town are what most people are actually here for. The lake gives Burlington a bite the ski villages lack — walk the bike path along the waterfront and you'll understand lake effect from the receiving end.

Winter is doing its thing: 21.1 in of snow in a typical January, with fresh snow on about 14 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
