What December feels like
December is Bend's wettest month, and at this elevation most of it arrives as snow rather than rain. The Old Mill lights go up, the Christmas parade runs downtown, and powder-day culture takes over — a few inches overnight and half the office is mysteriously unwell.
Winter is doing its thing: 5.3 in of snow in a typical December, with fresh snow on about 4 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
