What December feels like
December is mostly cold rain, with the odd flurry that stops traffic and delights everyone under ten. Speedway Christmas turns the racetrack into a drive-through light show, which is a very Charlotte solution to a cold night.
Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy. about 14 nights dip below freezing.
