Whether or weather

When I went to check the weather app to see when the rain we are having this morning will end, I was a bit dismayed to read this:

Day: Light rain is expected during the day. It'll be cold with a high of 51. [10.6 C]
Night: Light rain and snow are expected in your area. It'll be very cold with a low of 36. [2.2 C] There will be rain in the early morning. Temperatures near freezing.

SNOW?

 Well, obviously not this bad. And it could be worse. Three years ago on this date it dropped to 21 [-6.1 C]! 

On the brighter side, at least for our December/January moving plans, the coming Wisconsin winter is supposed to be somewhat warmer and drier than average.
