BBC News - Who, what, why: When does tarmac melt?

You wouldn't be able to lay tarmac in Chicago.... Won't last two seconds during the summer

These aren't very exciting as I took them out the window on the way to town, but it's a beautiful day.

At 42F / 6C with the sun beating on it, the snow is melting and the road was actually pretty slick


The real view was so much prettier than my photo, but here it is anyway


Baby snow banks


It's so warm that down low, it's just wet and muddy

Beautiful scenery there. Mountains look great with the snow.
