What January feels like
A blue norther can drop in overnight and take the whole day with it, and locals learn to read that north-wind sky. The Metroplex handles ice badly — a thin glaze is enough to close schools and empty the freeways — so keep the driving plans loose.
Expect about 4 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy. about 11 nights dip below freezing.
