What January feels like
Locals judge January by what is falling on the Sierra rather than what is happening downtown; a big week on the hill means I-80 and the Mount Rose Highway crawl on Sunday afternoons. Valley inversions can park a gray lid over town for days at a stretch.
Winter is doing its thing: 5.2 in of snow in a typical January, with fresh snow on about 3 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
