sleet okay????

It's now sleeting. I know this because this shit bounces, which is creepy as fuck. It's confusing to me, as it is not in its natural habitat aka a snowcone or ice chest surrounding some sort of beer and/or coke.

Side effect of living in central Texas; we are baffled by ice.

I mean, not ice where it belongs--see above, or within an ice maker or ice bag or environment in which ice forms (freezer)--but like, from the sky. It's fucking witchcraft, is what I'm saying. Like, this is the only time I sort of understand witch hunts, because there's a part of me that is extremely suspicious of this nonsense because it's just not right.

Chicago, Helsinki, New York = ice from sky.
Central Texas = months long fires and air conditioner use in early March.

February + Central Texas + ice from sky <> anything good or wholesome.

This has been a baffled weather report while all of us look suspiciously outside every so often.

(sleet falls in cleavage = holy fuck what elemental did I piss off?????)

*looks suspiciously outside* Being in Southern CA where heat and fires are also more common, I'm hoping we don't get this strange white stuff from the sky here, because yea, I'd be looking for the curse too.

Stay warm and dry. And take photos :) For those of us who never see that white stuff.

Okay, I just have to ask: How did it get in your cleavage??? I mean, what happened to your coat?

[seperis]

Physics. It slid inside the neck of my jacket that was unzipped at the neck and hit skin that has never known such horror before sliding slowly down. It was cold.

Yikes. That's why I never leave the house without a scarf in winter. It protects the gaps. We don't get a lot of snow or freezing (less now than when I was a kid), but freezing rain and sleet and such isn't uncommon.

I am from Canada and I also do not like sleet. Snow is much more manageable. Sleet is just...horrible. and likely to be in that temperature belt that will turn into FREEZING RAIN which is really bad.

Cleavage is not for sleet!

This legit made me snort in laughter.

[seperis]

...but am I wrong? It's weird.

It snowed once during my childhood that I recall. (My middle brother still has a t-shirt that says "I survived the San Antonio blizzard of '85!" Of course that was his wedding weekend, which made it extra-memorable -- a bunch of the guests got stranded because snow.) 13" overnight, which is a legit snowfall even for a place that routinely gets snow. I still remember how weird and exciting it was to get to -- idk, make snowballs, make a snowman, all that stuff I thought was only in books. Like fairies and Narnia and the Shire. Snow was practically mythical.

I mean, there is a really active coven of my acquaintance in Austin, so I'm not definitively saying witches are involved, but they're there, and sleet fell into your cleavage from the heavens, and no snowcones were in sight, so...
