Yeah, even 37F isn't enough to melt very much. We've had a few 39 degree days (quite nice!) and most of our 18 inch snowfall is still right there, thank you very much. It's compacted into itself, and is down to a more dense 12 inches. The places where it was plowed and piled up are still 5 and 6 feet high. We are back down in the teens for temperatures now, and heading for the singles and 0 for the weekend. So the snow is likely to be a landscape feature for the next month or so.

Back in Pennsylvania, and in the 1970's and me at age 15 or so, I *did* pull out the ice skates for an ice topped snow fall such as you've got. But you aren't supposed to have it down there in North Carolina!! Take care, stay warm, and try not to have to go anywhere!
