What December feels like
December edges out every other month for rain here, which explains the local relationship with a good hood. Peacock Lane strings up its holiday lights and the zoo runs its light show all month; what little snow falls usually lands as one slushy afternoon that empties every office downtown.
This is the wet season: rain on about 13 days, so pack accordingly. about 8 nights dip below freezing.
