What December feels like
Holidazzle in Loring Park and the events over at Union Depot give December an actual social shape. Snow that falls now generally sticks, which locals count as a good thing: it brightens the dark and gets the ski trails open for the season.
Winter is doing its thing: 11.4 in of snow in a typical December, with fresh snow on about 9 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
