Hockey-stick snow.  The freezing temperature of water has been rising dangerously for the past six months due to global warming and Donald Trump and salinization of the atmosphere due to extreme right-wing unproven propaganda.

Water now freezes at 35°F (1.67°C).

The science is settled.

The best explanation I've heard yet.  Oh, and water is inherently racist.  And so is snow because it disproportionately affects POC.

Heck, one time running from El Paso to points northeast, the interstate was moving at about 35mph, with trucks off the side... Dispatch called, wondered why... "Well, it's snowing and it's nasty and I can't talk."
 
High desert, don'tchaknow...
