What December feels like
What makes the news in December here is the cold, not the snow; the sky spends most of the month wide open. Step outside town after dark and the thin, dry air makes the frozen fingers worth it.
Winter is doing its thing: 4.1 in of snow in a typical December, with fresh snow on about 4 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
