Okay it's actually 33°F rain rn and it is DISGUSTING because the pedestrian crossings at intersections are filthy slurries which aren't melting fast enough.

33ËšF? Banana belt! It's 0.2ËšC (32.4ËšF) rain here. Snow has compacted to dense slushy stuff but not much melting going on.

Probably just as well. Soil is still mostly frozen and would not let water soak in. I remember sudden midwinter thaws would cause flooding in the Midwest because of this.

Car thermometer says 0.5°C which is 33°F, it's not perfect but it was good enough to meme 33° rain. You have me beat with 32° rain though! :lol: :lol:

Cold air stays in Alaska and Yukon on this run. Really hope future runs show a chilly zonal flow :wish:

Currently snow with a few centimeters new and, what sounds like ice pellets blowing against the window, and definitely below freezing. But haven't had a chance to see exactly where we're at.
