Too warm to snow

Why does that happen? It is freezing for days and days and finally when moisture is on its way it warms up t 33' - just a little too warm for snow but not warm enough to "hang out" outside... unless you are Mike, he golfed today... again :) Debbie and I played gift shop, rearranging and making it look presentable for an open house this Saturday. Wouldn't it be nice if I had something to say besides the weather?
