I don't really know how to describe what's coming down at the moment. It's not snow, it's not rain, and it's not hail. It's some unholy amalgamation of the three. I went out with an umbrella and it sounded like hail hitting it, but by the time I got back home it was coated in a layer of pebbly ice.

This afternoon, it's supposed to get juuuuust warm enough to maybe add a layer of slick half-melted water to everything before it refreezes.

So... Mind your footing, and if you can avoid driving today, do so.

I've always thought of sleet as... wetter. Like, rain with ice and snow mixed in.

This is something more like ice pellets that are just barely wet and fluffy enough to stick to everything then freeze rock hard.

I guess that qualifies as sleet, but it feels wrong somehow.
