What December feels like
Grand Illumination on the first Sunday of December lights the whole Historic Area with candles and fireworks, and it is the single busiest night of the Williamsburg year. After that the cressets burn on Duke of Gloucester Street through the holidays, and a snow every few winters makes the whole thing look staged.
Expect about 7 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. about 16 nights dip below freezing.
