not necessarily, but in a typical winter over here at least, its more likely to have deeper cold availability in Dec/Jan over March

Many areas obviously didn't stay at 32 as long as they could. That could've hindered some accumulations.

Regarding SLR's MPX is going with 8/10 to 1. Maybe a bit higher tomorrow when the cold air starts to filter in.

Would this actually have been any colder in Dec though? Doesn't evaporative cooling tend to level off at any phase change? It's the same reason why boiling water is never more than 212F. With a snow setup like we had, I think 32ish is kind of the floor without any help from arctic air.

I saw the flood warnings for the rivers and creeks in Moscow, Potlatch and Pullman
