What December feels like
December is wetter than most people expect and rarely cold enough to matter, though the grey days do pile up. The lights in the Heights and the rink downtown are the seasonal plans, and snow in Houston is a once-a-decade story people still tell.
Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy.
