Too flippin cold

It is very cold.  

-1 atm apparently, although i'd argue it's colder.  

There's a bit of snow, but i'd cope with the cold much better if there was a lot of snow.  

Cold is ok if there's a lot of snow, or if it's a crisp, clear morning.  

Dark is only ok if it is actually snowing at that moment.  

It is not snowing at this moment, and there is not a lot of snow, so it should be warmer and brighter...or at least brighter.
