After a warm Thanksgiving weekend and several weeks of warmish weather, the temperatures dropped yesterday evening.
I was picking up carry-out for me and PhysOrg when the rain gave way to pellets of ice. I could almost pinpoint the moment it happened. When I went into the restaurant, it was raining and when I came out again, it was distinctly icy.
There’s a good reason I prefer a hearty, confident snowfall rather than a “wintry mix”. I’m not really sure which form of precipitation actually makes the roads more dangerous, but I know which one is easier to clean off of a car early in the morning.
It’s not wintry mix.
