What December feels like
December is Moab's snowiest month, which in practice means a couple of dustings that burn off the rock by afternoon and photograph unbelievably well. The town is at its quietest, plenty of places are closed, and the freeze holds nearly every night — bring more layers than a desert seems to warrant.
Winter is doing its thing: 4.9 in of snow in a typical December, with fresh snow on about 2 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
