Often old snow will get trampled down and packed into ice. The snow on top, if still loose, can blow and drift before eventually melting partially, compacting, and freezing into another layer of ice, which is then covered with more loose snow. This cycle can make for some dangerous driving conditions.

I answered a question like this a couple of times so I'll give you the same answer:
This is the effect of global warming which is caused by the burning of fossil fuels such as gas and coal and the clearing of trees. Clearing trees increases carbon dioxide levels and scientists believe carbon dioxide levels will double before 2050 to 750 parts per million.
And no, strictly it shouldn't happen but there are too many pollutants in this world. Some people however believe this is a natural process for us to get crazy weather which will eventually turn back to normal.
In fact, January 2006 was the hottest January on record in Toronto. I however believe this is nothing to freak about and some people *cough* tree-huggers *cough* are too concerned over this issue. One thing is certain however, don't expect too many white Christmases from now on.

Hurry over here to the Pennines in Yorkshire - still quite a bit of snow on the high ground but melting fast. Managed to play out in it this morning - excellent steep hill just across the road from me, long, steep and smooth as a gold course - perfect for sledging.
Rain on and off, warmer temps, spoiling all the fun. Several feet of snow alongside the dry-stone walls and where it's drifted.
I'll have words with that Micheal Fish and tell him not to get everyone's hopes up in the future.

El Nino is the cause of the tiny amounts of snowfall both in Britain and the New England region of the USA.
Many other people may say that the small amounts are due to global warming but in reality global warming is actually rather slow, so slow in fact that it's rather hard to see its effects over a course of many years.

It's all gone here too. I reckon cos it rained and its getting mild here in the South East. But I do love the snow. Especially playing in it with my kids

The snowmen still stand by, but all the snow around them has now gone. Was definitely 4-6inches of snow here in the south east.

Snow never lasts long in the UK. We had one day of it back in January, & then this week. Winter used to be a solid three months of cold & snow, but global warming has put an end to that.
