Today might be the most miserable day of this entire winter here. Just a pubic hair above freezing and sleet/rain now some flakes. The kind of damp cold that just bites through you.
Well weatherunderground had a radar map with temps showing heavy rain and temps ranging from high 30s with to mid 40's at the time of posting so take it up with them.
i was just looking at the weather in Europe. The only place where you can find cold outside of the northern Nordic countries is Ukraine (teens). The alps currently are raining heavy with 40's.
One thing about the 80's I remember was when it did snow often times there would remnants on the ground for weeks, even it didn't snow for that entire time. It wasn't always warm back then.
