Yea, only one day got over 30 degrees and it just barely did. It was mostly in the teens while we were there. Snowed about 10 inches one day and the town didn't come clear out the neighborhood before we tried to go out. Front wheel drive car in 10 inches of hardened snow means not going anywhere. Cleared the driveway, got into the unplowed cul-de-sac and got stuck. 
So we decided to clear a path so we could get out. Spent about an hour clearing it out and was about to head out when the plow suddenly showed up. I was pissed.
