Been biking, temperatures was in the 40s on Tuesday, but only the 20s today (Wednesday 1-27-2016). The Snow that fell was a "Cold Snow" and given the high temperatures and the nature of that snow, it is now down to about a foot. This is both to compression of the snow as it packs itself AND the high temperatures yesterday. Should note the foot is a solid foot, you can almost walk on it, so it will take a lot to melt it.

Where snows had been piled, no real drop in those piles, the temperatures have NOT been high enough to do much melting, most of the reduction in snow has been to compression.

Suppose to be above Freezing during the daytime over the next few days, then above freezing at night this weekend. Thus no real drop in snow till this weekend, those 24 hour period with temperatures over 32 melts a lot of snow, but slowly.

No problems with my studded tires. I may take my bike with slicks tomorrow, the roads are all clear.
