Freezing Rain & Sleet All Day

Rained all night last night. Started right after dark and went through the night. As the temperatures dropped to freezing, it turned to sleet, freezing rain. Carefully went out to refresh the peanut feeder on the deck. Tiny pieces of ice everywhere. And the rain was still falling. Thankfully I had my boots on. You can slide easily on this ice as many of you know. Had my phone and peanuts in my hands. Tried to snap a photo and dropped my phone. It's ok but slid out of my hand onto the deck. Not my photo. Will try to get more later. Back inside getting warm now.

BOOOOO!!!!!!! I’ve seen a few sn*wflakes, but it’s still mostly rain still here. I’ll accept the first one of the year with that wide-eyed kiddie voice (“ooh, look, sn*w!”). All appearances of the white stuff from here on out will be snarled at with disgust and disdain.

Only a slight dusting here actually. Sorry it is such a bad word for you.

@CarolDM — broke my ankle in it in 2015. I’m like a skit on The Electric Company since: grumble, growl, and grunt!

Driving in freezing rain is the worst. Walking is difficult at best. I hate it. I don't like snow and cold but they are better than freezing rain or ice storms.

@CarolDM I am in Florida. It does not freeze much here. Blizzards and ice storms are not my cup of tea. Please do stay at home where it is safe.

It started to s**w late last night after raining all day. Should s**w most of the day. You and I should hibernate. Miserable weather! Stay safe and warm.

I enjoy the snowflakes. Only about an inch or two. It was nice from inside. All sunshine today. Inside again.

Hmmm, freezing rain...that's nasty. I think our rain is probably over now...but it is beginning to get a bit breezy now.

Be careful out there. You're getting weather we would expect. The weather people told us we'd get an early winter and once it came out would continue getting nastier but they are wrong once again or my protector is helping the conditions be milder here until I can again wear shoes. When I went to my last bandage appt we had similar weather to what you now have. I wrote one slipper as I have been but put a grocery bag over it and tired the top and then put a bootie like contractors wear in homes over that for some traction. I expect in another week or so I'll be able to wear shoes because it's not hurting anymore.

Staying home today thankfully. It will pass soon I am sure. Roller coaster weather. Good idea to use the bag over your slipper.

You would need to be really careful on the slippery deck. It's good the phone wasn't damaged.

@CarolDM I hope you and the cats were warm enough. Sounds like a day to be inside. The poor ones that eat from that feeder. Glad you are inside getting warm.
