What January feels like
Weekend traffic north on 180 is all Phoenix families coming up to play in the snow, and it backs up for hours — locals go midweek or use the sled hills nobody posts about. Between storms the sky is astonishing, and the freight trains through downtown will remind you all night that Route 66 came through here.
Winter is doing its thing: 20.9 in of snow in a typical January, with fresh snow on about 6 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
