At least it managed to stop at a bus stop.

2. I live in the Lake Ontario snowbelt - we get more snow than Buffalo, Syracuse and Oswego!

Someone once asked how we drive when there's icy rain. The answer is - YOU DON'T! That's when you stay home!

5. You should see Alaska over the past couple of days.

RAIN and freezing rain all the way up to Fairbanks. Everything is like an ice skating rink here. Since you lived up here, you'll know how unusual this is, especially for the Interior this time of year.

FAIRBANKS - Meteorologists described Monday's widespread rainfall as an "extraordinary event," and it's not over yet.

Three-tenths of an inch of rain had fallen at Fairbanks International Airport by 3 p.m. Monday and forecasters at the National Weather Service said more than an inch of rain could fall by the time it stops Wednesday.

"We haven't ever seen anything like this in the Interior," hydrologist Ed Plumb at the National Weather Service in Fairbanks said Monday as the rain continued to fall.

The service issued a winter storm warning that remains in effect through 6 p.m. today.

6. Yuck, that won't be any good for x-co skiing. Snow isn't bad but ice is.

sounds like a mess and very odd.

It's not all that unusual, I guess, for us to get warmer periods down here in Anchorage (although they usually roll around in January), but they say this is at least a 100-year event for Fairbanks. It was even in the upper 20s in Barrow yesterday.
