There will be snow in the Sierra Nevadas
January is 31 days and there is a big difference between Jan 1 Jan 31. Most places will have snow by the end of the month. Every where is getting snow today. But it may not really snow again for a few weeks, so the beginning of Jan might be a bunch of dirty, leftover stuff.
In my experience, Yosemite is still a pretty good bet. They had 11 inches of snow on The Valley floor yesterday. Other than that, the Lake Tahoe area is a pretty safe bet as well. You can find out more about both of these areas at http://www.discovernortherncalifornia.co��Hope this is helpful! Yosemite Lake Tahoe are both absolutely gorgeous in the wintertime!
yeah there will definitely be snow every where in the mountains of california we get snow until like march or april lol but im pretty sure that there will be TONS of snow up there in january lol
Yosemite should have snow. Mammoth definately will.
Lake Tahoe! Try Incline Village if you go!
