What January feels like
January is quiet enough that the free museums in Forest Park — the zoo, the art museum, the Science Center — feel almost private. Deep snow worries people here far less than an ice storm; when freezing rain shows up in the forecast, locals cancel plans without embarrassment.
Winter is doing its thing: 5.7 in of snow in a typical January, with fresh snow on about 5 days. about 24 nights dip below freezing.
