What December feels like

December has more days with something coming out of the sky than any other month here, though it rarely adds up to much water — that's lake country for you. The illumination and the fireworks nights run through the holidays, and the mist has started freezing onto the railings by the end of the month.

Expect about 16 days with something falling — rain, snow, or the sloppy mix in between. about 25 nights dip below freezing.
