For those of you who don't know your winter weather definitions. Sleet is basically frozen raindrops. Not big ones, those are called hail. And not freezing rain, that is rain that is colder than freezing but hasn't found anything to freeze around and freezes when it hits the ground.
It's been sleeting here for three hours now, and the effect is kinda unsettling. It's not powdery like snow, and it's not a sheen of ice like freezing rain. It's like someone poured little tiny pebbles all over everything. It's actually very pretty.
Either way, the winter weather has begun. Our... (What's the opposite of beloved? Beloathed? Ima go with beloathed.) Our beloathed governor, for what it's worth, declared a state of emergency several hours BEFORE this slight dusting of sleet began.
Idiot.
See ya'all tomorrow, when I talk about something other than the weather!
