At least, I think it was sleet, anyway.

And since there’s been a lot of talk today on both Facebook and Twitter about all the different types of icy precipitation, I have cause to ponder it.

First, it was icy, so it couldn’t have been freezing rain, since that freezes only after it hits the ground.

Second, it seemed like a stream of icy/watery stuff. Streaming diagonally. I don’t know what conclusion this leads to.

And there’s no third.

I’m going with my initial estimation: sleet. Enough of it to get us out of school an hour early today and two hours late tomorrow, if there’s no additional ice or snow tonight.

And what do I know anyway?

I’ve never even heard of thundersnow until today.

(And guess what? That red squiggly line tells me that neither has Firefox.)
