I just got back from St. Louis. I'm from the Bay Area. What do I know of weather. Weather.com said that there would be "freezing rain" when I landed.
Freezing rain.
Snow sounds soft and fluffy. Sleet sounds kinda neat. Freezing rain just sounds miserable. And it is. You get immediately wet. The stuff comes pre-melted and wastes no time powdering the new down coat you hoped would be enough. Freezing rain slaps you in the face like a wet towel before burrowing in at the wrists and neck and *then* it freezes.
As I parked at the hotel, the radio guy warned that later that night we might get some thunder snow.
Fortunately, I was asleep by then.

Thunder snow?!
The very idea frightens me. I think I'll stick to Texas, where our only seasons are Summer and January.
