What January feels like
January is when the Legislature comes back into session and the town fills with people who don't live here the rest of the year. Snow at sea level is the wet, heavy kind while Eaglecrest on the ridge above gets the good stuff — a thousand feet of elevation makes all the difference here.
Winter is doing its thing: 24.5 in of snow in a typical January, with fresh snow on about 10 days. about 23 nights dip below freezing.
