Through A.D. 2008 December 08:

Days with snow cover: 027
Days with complete snow cover: 09
Total snowfall: 023 centimeters
Maximum snow depth: 08 centimeters
Greatest snow event: 07 centimeters
Lowest temperature: about -13º Celsius (08º Fahrenheit)

Snow has fallen 20 of the past 23 days. That total will probably become 21 of 24 after tomorrow, though the storm that will start as snow is forecast to turn to ice and, eventually, rain.

Incredibly, during the past 20 days, we have only received 22 centimeters (about 9 inches) of snow. Almost all of that came during a week-long stretch in mid-to-late November. Though it has snowed 11 of the last 13 days, we've only had 4 centimeters (less than 2 inches) during that time. (and I was VERY generous with the totals) There has not been complete snow cover since November 29, and it appears that the next 10 days will be the warmest in a month. Are we heading toward our fifth consecutive brown Christmas?
