It doesn't snow very often, but it doesn't stay cold enough for the snow to stick around. It melts and refreezes for a week or so (leaving the roads basically impassible)
Ugh! In very early and very late winter (say, to mid-December and in April), we often get snow turning to rain then freezing, with the result that the sidewalks especially turn into ice rinks, really dangerous and horrible. The roads are generally a little better maintained, but when you're talking about 3 million people trying to get around in those conditions, it's pretty hairy!
then melts completely all at once
Luckily we don't get that! Hope the flooding is easing off by now....
