It really is. I face South, and the last 2 days where the spots where pavement is exposed have expanded drastically. Lots of refreezed crust ice at the edges, a tell tale sign of melting.
Yup, same. 0 at my house, but got to the little hollow at the end of my road and it was -4. Passed through Leominster and it was 5. Fake cold can be extreme.
That was crazy, most snow of I've ever seen here and is was all ultra wet Sierra cement. Tried to plow all at once at the end, which obviously didn't go well.
