ST. CLOUD -- We're now into early December and our lawns are still looking pretty green, thanks to the mild temperatures and lack of any significant snow.

The National Weather Service says here in St. Cloud we've officially had just 2.1 inches of snow so far this season.  Normally we'd have about 8.2 inches of snow by now.  Last year by this date we already had 15.8 inches of snow.

Of course, this is Minnesota, so snowfall is most likely inevitable.  Historically, December has been our third snowiest month in St. Cloud averaging 7.8 inches of snow.
