Here are the top stories in Lakewood today:

1. Metro Denver's annual December snow over the past five years lags behind average. The month you would expect to be the snowiest in Colorado, turns out, at least for the past five years, has been not so snowy. With a historic average of 8 inches for the month, since 2018, there's several years where there's been almost no snow during the month of December. (FOX31)
2. Former CU football star, Jeremy Bloom, worked behind the scenes to bring Sanders to the Buffs. The CU Buffalo alumni, receiver and returner in the 2000s, says his pursuit of Coach Prime started shortly after CU fired head coach Karl Dorrell. (TMZ)
3. Colorado wants to import cheaper drugs from Canada. Colorado leaders have submitted a proposal to the FDA that would allow the state to import prescription drugs from Canada.
   Gov. Jared Polis's office indicated that if the plan were to be approved, the average savings could add up to 65 percent. (KDVR)
4. GES Neighbors not excited about the new park atop I-70. The park that sits atop the nearly complete Central 70 project is now complete, but neighbors that attended the grand opening of the park last Saturday were less than impressed by the final product. (Patch)
5. Gas pricing explained. Ever wonder why gas prices show the 9/10th thingy after the price? Learn why it's used and the history of how the practice came about. (7News)
