What January feels like
January is when this city talks itself into a snow panic over a forecast and empties the bread aisle — the 2014 gridlock stranded people on the interstates overnight and nobody has forgotten it. Most of the month is simply damp and gray, and the traffic is bad either way.
Rain arrives about 7 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans. about 13 nights dip below freezing.
