Absolutely there is melting on southern exposed pavement. Even the part of my lawn that I plow is now more exposed. It's not crazy melting, but it's more than if we had these temps around Christmas.
Even if we got some 3-4" Arctic sand clipper refreshers, that would be nice to keep the winter vibe going. You would think with all the cold shots at least some moisture would be rung out.
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.
