The cold start to December is remarkable.
The National Weather Service says it's been the coldest first half of December since 2010 and the eighth coldest start to the month ever.
And that's not all.
“So far, we’re close to seven inches above normal for the month, for snowfall, through this date,” said forecaster Bill Modzelewski.
He says December will end with high near or above normal.
It also could be a wet Christmas this year, with rain possible next week.
