Cape Cod, Mass.

It may be January, but that doesn't mean the weather doesn't offer up some great things to see this weekend!

Let's start with Cape Cod. Normally in January, you may deal with heavy rain or snow, high winds, rough seas, or, at least cold air. This weekend offers almost none of that.

Highs will rise into the 40s or low 50s. Not beach weather, but for mid-January, pretty tolerable. There may be a nuisance shower, but winds will be pretty benign. After all, there's much more to do on the Cape.

On March 18, 2012 we awoke to about 10 inches of snow on the south rim of Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. About 9am the sun came out and emphasized the shadows. (Photo credit: iWitnessWeather contributor allodwick)

The Grand Canyon

As if the Grand Canyon isn't spectacular enough, how about with a fresh coasting of snow?

If you can take the cold, you'll be treated to a spectacular sight most tourists don't experience. Light snow fell in northern Arizona Thursday and Friday. Not too heavy to impact travel, but just right to lay a light blanket of white that will stay in place given the cold weekend temperatures. In fact, you may see a brief flurry or snow shower this weekend, as well.

Florida Keys

So this is what attracts "Snowbirds" from cold climates this time of year!

January can see cold plunges sweep through even the Florida Keys...but not this weekend...by a longshot!

Except for a pesky east wind, you can't possible get better January weather in the Keys this weekend. Highs near 80 degrees, lows near 70 degrees, with sunshine galore. Take that, January!

Devil's Tower, Wyo.

Continuing a theme of snow-covered landmarks, how about the most recognizable point in northeast Wyoming?

Winter Storm Gandolf will have wound down by Saturday, after depositing a fresh blanket of snow over the sacred site for the Lakota and other Native American tribes.

As beautiful as this is to see in summer, a blanket of white should make it stunning.

Just bring a heavy coat. While some lingering light snow is possible, daytime highs will only struggle into the teens, at best. With a lingering wind, expect wind chills to dip well below zero, at times.
