Well, FWIW, around here, this December shaping up quite similar to last year. Which wasn't good for snow, and seems to remind of many similar ones in past decade.
Less than 2" snowcover for the entire month last year, other than a 3-4" snowfall that hung around a couple days around 12/7 and then we had a stick save 5.5" Xmas eve into Xmas morning. After that, nada.
This year, Ol Man Winter did us a solid to start the month but we've been bleeding out ever since.
