If you’re dreaming of a White Christmas – keep dreaming. We did have snow last month, but that’s all melted, and we’ve only had a trace so far this month. Meteorologists says we could see some light mixed precipitation this week, and we’re still about a week and a half away from Christmas, but as of right now there’s no major snowstorms on the horizon — and temps will be above normal.
