That….. STUFF … hitting the window… better not be SNOW again.
It’s about 70 here. Don’t know if that helps any? We are expecting T-Storms later in the week. 😀

Sun Dragon Koi #3it’s 3*C or 38*F and it feels like snow when it hits me (I am now wet, I walked for lunch)
I get a kick out of this:
Q. For any Current Conditions and Forecast page, in the Forecast section, why is there an asterisk next to the temperature value in the icon summary?A. Generally, temperatures rise through the day and fall through the night and a forecast for a day or night period will include the highest or lowest temperature expected. However, the sudden arrival of warm air at night or cold air during the day can trigger different temperature trends. An asterisk (*) is posted next to the temperature value when there is an “abnormal temperature trend” for the affected forecast period. An abnormal temperature trend is defined as a temperature drop of at least 3°C during daytime or a temperature rise of at least 3°C during night time.
We get rises and falls like that all the time in the summer…..huh. But I think that’s one of the reasons we get such nasty T-storms. Although I like to be at home and watch them from the couch. 😀

Sun Dragon Koi #3No, then I’d have heat stroke.
I like cold.. just not snow.Yes I’m with Snap on this one…I like cold…don’t like the summer at all. Even if I like to take pictures of flowers I still like fall, winter and spring more then summer. 🙂

I like cold.. just not snow.I drove for an hour through that snow…. crying the whole way home! AUGH! Where did all that God-forsaken white stuff come from?!? 🙄
And now it’s gone, but yet it’s -1 out. Please explain how snow melts when it’s below freezing. Weeeeee

A few possibilities come to mind:
1) The ground is warmer than the air. We talk about inches of frost as when not only is it freezing on the surface, it’s also freezing to a depth of x”. Normally the cold doesn’t go very deep (at least out here in West Texas) because there’s a lot of warm ground below, radiating upwards, but after a long cold spell the cold begins to win the fight against the warmth and we get freezing below ground. That’s when our water pipes burst because we only bother to put heating coils on the ones above ground. Presumably where you are, you are still at a negative value of inches of frost.
2) Where you are is under tremendous atmospheric pressure. Even at -1 the ice will melt if it’s pushed hard enough. Of course, that kind of pressure isn’t normal, and would probably show up as a gravitational anomaly on even the cheapest of tricorders.
2) The salt fairies have been out with their packets of magical “salt” dust.
3) God has suspended the normal rules of physics preparatory to wiping the slate clean and starting over.
