Huh...I know that one too. Hows your frost/thaw been this Jan? Over here in SW-Ontairo, we've had a mild one up until the last week, but now? -15C off and on the last week at night and hitting -1C in the daytime.
Not bad, figured if I ever got a chance I'd probably move to S.Dakota. Tho I own property in central FL(pasco co.) But yeah, I hear ya on the want of a melt. Even down here in SW-Ontario we've got around 8" on the ground. Least it's not as bad as 3-4 years ago, first time we'd seen a winter flood in about 80 years. Got 20" of snow, then a melt, then another 6" of rain all in the span of a week.
Got home a few days ago from doing work at a remote location in the far north, it was -49C(-56F) without the windchill, everything was frozen including the computers and nothing would work unless it got warmed up slowly. Gotta admit though, I really see the allure of working in such cold conditions and living in it. There's kind of a peaceful tranquility when everything is so settled.
I'm from the NE, we know that water expands when frozen... That's why construction barrels are our state flowers come spring time.

Live more in the Midwest now, but we've had a colder year than average. Ready for some of that global warming to melt all this snow 🙃
