I presume it's quite rare to see an area go from snow to freezing rain and back to snow,especially around here. Have you or anyone else seen this happen?

Freezing rain.
Surfaces and trees really getting coated in ice now.
I cleaned off my car this afternoon and it was ice free. Now it's coated in ice.

Only experience was in Ontario.
-10C and snow to -5C and freezing rain back to a quick burst of snow before it wrapped up.

I witnessed it in Portland in December 2008. Major snow-into-ice storm followed immediately by a second major storm that turned the ice back into snow. Some neighbourhoods had 50+ cm on the ground when all was said and done.

Walking through it went whoomp-wa-whoomp as one’s steps broke through the multiple ice layers.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Warming fast here, now up to -1.0C. Gonna be over soon, thankfully. Can't say the same about the eastern valley.

It's been a fun couple of weeks. Onto #beginningofFeb!
I hear you, but I just can’t get that excited due to how little of the snow actually falling I’ve been able to enjoy. This has been a fun stretch, but not as good as I hoped going in.

You think this station is correct? +4C at 270m in Abby while -1C at the surface.

I can kind of relate to that feeling as I was either sick or at work during 90% of this event.

Pouring out there. Already got some water ponding and localized flooding on the street. I dug out a path and uncovered one drain this afternoon but it's not enough if this keeps up. Gonna head out there again and see what I can do...

The warm air band isn’t that warm actually. Went up the mountain today. 0 degrees is where the snow stops on the trees. In many areas around Abby the rain has slush splats.
