He didn't think to move his car regularly, and it is now frozen to the ground in the parking lot of his apartment by what he described as nearly a foot of ice.Hmmm. Now I'm in Ypsilanti, which means I could literally walk to downtown Ann Arbor within two hours (allowing some extra time to cross streets and the highway without getting run over), and it doesn't seem to me it's been quite that bad. Looking out my front window, the main drag appears clear and dry ... what I can see of it, beyond the plowed snow heaped up three and four feet high.... But we've had at least a couple of days in the last week that I believe the temperatures got above freezing for several hours at a time.
The Boston area has gotten more actual snowfall, as far as I know, but at least some of it melts between the weekly snowstorms...
