What December feels like
The Sun Bowl at the end of the month brings a football crowd into a city otherwise winding down for the holidays. Nights freeze more often than visitors expect and a light snow does happen, usually gone by mid-morning; the days stay bright enough to eat lunch outside.
Real rain shows up about 2 days all month; the rest stay dry. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy. about 14 nights dip below freezing.
