What January feels like

Winter visitors have fully arrived and you feel it in the restaurant waits and the pace of traffic on the 101. The trail lots at Camelback and Piestewa Peak fill by sunrise, which tells you how good the mornings are.

Real rain shows up about 2 days all month; the rest stay dry. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy.
