Thornton’s December preview: A very chilly month quite possible

November was an unseasonably warm and unusually dry month. As we look into December, that trend looks to change, particularly when it comes to temperatures.

The month brings with it the official start to winter and the month usually brings with it our first real taste of Arctic temperatures. Precipitation can be hit or miss with monster snowstorms possible but we have also seen starkly dry years.

Current long range forecasts indicate that for at least the first half of the month we will see unusually cold temperatures and have the potential for better than average levels of precipitation.
