There has been a blustery and variable wind at around 10-15 miles per hour the better part of the day. That has made it rather uncomfortable to be outside. There is a fairly hard crust on the snow, so not much of it has sublimed even with the wind. For those of you who don't know sublimation occurs when a solid (in this case ice or snow) becomes a gas without going through a liquid phase. This can occur when there is a wind and fairly low relative humidity. We did by the way get above freezing today, but not by enough to cause any significant melting. I did notice this afternoon that the ice and snow at the edge of the road did melt, and that may well have been because of the residual salt mixed in with the snow.
