I will say "yes."

I can't honestly say whether or not I've heard the expression used, but there's no doubt as to what it means.

It's a bit more challenging than to say "the road is not walkable," because while we say, "I'm going to walk the road," we cannot say, "I'm going to walk the weather."

Hi Tom

I might possibly say that jokingly in casual conversation. I say "jokingly" because it does not strike me as being a "normal" usage.

(I presume you mean that the weather is not appropriate for walking anywhere outside -- i.e. it's much too hot, too cold, too snowy, etc for walking.)

Otherwise, I would expect "walkable" to be used in connection with something that

The weather is not conducive to walking/flying.
Thanks again,

Tom
