Jr. Irish Soccer Club Memorial Day Invitational kicks off this...
We really haven't gotten hardly any snow this month. Our total is pretty sad by December's standards, coming in at only 0.7 inches.

That's a full 7 inches below where we should be! Even though there's some snow chances around Christmas, this will look like a dry December for snowfall and we'll most likely be nowhere near the 17.3" that we need to consider December a "normal" month for snowfall.
However, when taking a look back at the last 10 years or so, when we have Decembers with very little snowfall or hardly any snow at all, we have noticed a big up-tick in snowfall for January. December itself has a wide range in totals over the last 10 years, but take a look at these 4 winter seasons, especially the last two.

You can see the big increase when we have a dry December. Now, it doesn't happen all of the time, but there is some correlation between a dry December and a snowy January. So, you want to stay ready for more snow come January.
