What January feels like
The National Western Stock Show rolls into town mid-month and brings its own cold snap with it; locals have called that Stock Show weather for generations. Almost nothing falls from the sky, which is why the sidewalks stay clear and the ski shuttles up the hill leave full.
Winter is doing its thing: 6.4 in of snow in a typical January, with fresh snow on about 5 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
