Thaw (weather)
Thaw is the period when the snow and ice melt, at the end of the winter, in cold climates. January thaw January thaw is a term applied to a thaw or rise in temperature in mid-winter found in mid-latitude North America.

During this "thaw" period, usually lasting for about a week, temperatures are generally a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
