CLEVELAND — We didn’t get a white Christmas. We didn’t get much of a white December, either. The Cleveland metro area typically receives 14.1 inches of snow in December. Last month it netted just 2.8 inches.
That’s because it’s been unseasonably warm.
It was a warm December. December averages 14.1 inches of snow. We had less than 3. #Cleveland #Weather @WEWS pic.twitter.com/1hOGTG5AHH

Which all sounds well and good, except that the longer it’s warm, the longer it takes for the lake to freeze, and the longer it takes for the lake to freeze, the longer we have potential for lake effect snow.
The lake's temperature is 39 today.
Normally, it's 37.
