We have also warmed up here in lower Michigan. It was -20C this morning.
However, my former home of Anchorage, Alaska is actually above freezing
(+2C) yesterday. 

They have had multiple problems caused by melting snow and rain. See

example

-=> Quoting Steven Horn to All <=-
 SH> The weather in Whitehorse warmed up quickly

 SH> Yellowknife is still at -35 with a wind chill of -50.
 SH> I'm sure Jim Weller can't be all that happy.
