- Mammoth Mountain Ski Area, CA: more snow has fallen this January than any other month in the resort's recorded history -- that's any month, not just January, and the month is not yet over; as of January 24, 2017, 246 inches (20.5 feet) had fallen
- Mammoth Mountain: previous monthly record -- 209 inches set in December 2010
- Tahoe City, CA; snowiest January since 1952; again, the month is not over; 135 inches for the month, so far
- there is so much snow on the Sierra Nevada that some ski lifts had to close; chairs were buried

By the way, some readers my have noted that I moved "global warming" links at the sidebar farther down. I am trying to gradually move away from posts on "global warming" -- Trump has just kept me too busy. So, a big "thank you" to a reader alerting me to these snow stories, and I assume the Kennedys were happy to see the notes, always looking for places to show their grandchildren what snow looks like.
