What January feels like
Cedar fever is the local affliction nobody warns visitors about: mountain cedar releases in waves all winter and puts half the city on antihistamines. Weather-wise it's the gentlest month for walking the greenbelt, though a real freeze arrives once or twice and Austin handles it badly.
Expect about 4 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
