About St. Petersburg in December

St. Petersburg in December?
I am studying abroad for Fall 2008, and at the end of my studies (in mid- to late- december), a friend and I were planning on travelling to St. Petersburg (we would take a ferry from Stockholm to Helsinki, train to St. Petersburg. On the way back, a train to Tallinn, ferry to Stockholm). I've always been fascinated by St. Petersburg and I want to go there so bad, but I'm a little wary of travelling there in December. Has anyone been there in December who can tell me a little about it? I know it's going to be super cold and dark, but I've always wanted to go there, and December is the only time I would be able to. Would you recommend going there? I'll be studying near Stockholm, Sweden. Has anyone been to both places in the winter? If so, how do they compare weather-wise?
