ORD is at 6.9" this month. Average for December is 7.6", so we'll see if we can muster enough to get there. I wouldn't call this a December to remember, but even if there isn't another flake this month, it's unquestionably the best December for Chicago since 2016... in large part because of just how bad the last number of Decembers have been. This December has had the most snowfall since 2016. And believe it or not, the peak snowfall depth this month is the highest December depth since 2000.

Nail on the head here. Celebrating a 10 day cold stretch is a victory now. Most of those negative departures are about to be obliterated.
