Yesterday’s weather, mid-January, was some kind of weird here. The historical average temperature range is -22.4 to -30.6 (-8.3°F to -23.1°F). Yesterday it was +3.3 to -2.3 (37.9°F to 27.9°F)!
Oh, and it rained making roads & paths dangerously slippery as the rain turned the accumulated snow to ice. (My legs were aching before my daily walk to check the mail was half over and I was soaked!)
Drivers whose tires were less than perfect found it impossible to get up the big hills. The police ended up blocking off one of the major access roads until they could clear off the accumulation of inadequately outfitted vehicles.
