No, really. I went outside to get the newspaper and just about slipped on something...ice. Driveway was coated with ice. So I got it and duck walked back inside.
We had a storm pass through yesterday, rained most of the day, snowed for about 5 minutes. Didn't stick. But then it got cold and it's cold right now.
How cold 20mm?
About 29 degrees F. They're calling for even colder tonight, down into the low 20's.
I know, it's not Minnesota cold or Indiana cold. But for the desert SW, it's cold.

lol, well, no. No need, anywhere south of Phoenix or so.
Up north, like in Flagstaff, or Showlow, or Prescott, oh yeah.
I think I threw my snow shovel over into my neighbor's yard (the one with the snow blower), when we moved down here.
Tucson's snow/ice removal is dismal. If it gets bad, the city just shuts down. The overpasses are disasters, don't want to get on those with ice all over the road.

Yeah, we had over a foot of snow cover with highs in the below zero range most of Dec. but yesterday it warmed up to 41F and melted half of the snow pack. Wake up today and all of the snowpack on my driveways and parking lots turned into skating rinks. Temps back to normal around 18F. Have been spreading rid ice all morning and dumped dowm around 500lbs so far. Went and looked again and it looks like I have not done a thing. Jeez this sucks when the glaciers melt and refreeze.

Looks like all the warmth that y'all normally have got concentrated and sent to the south east, it's about 65 F here today. I heat with wood and am just keeping enough fire going during the day to heat the radiator water for over night. I would like some snow and at least enough cold to keep the bugs in check. We don't always get what we want though.

When I went to the movies earlier today the thermometer in my truck said it was 69. I won't complain except that I was wearing a sweatshirt since it was cold yesterday.

Well, we're having a pretty nice early Winter here too. We haven't seen a cloud in four days, which is quite nice but also means near zero C temperatures during the day, with a maximum of 4-5C in mid-afternoon, qickly dropping in the negative figures at night. Icy, crystal-clear winter... At least there is close to no wind at all, so the sun exposure we get makes the cold more bearable.
No indication it's going to snow anytime soon though, it may even not snow at all this year, which is perfectly fine by me.
Cheers
