Can't I Wait Till December For It To Start Sleeting?

It's sleeting/freezing rain here in Connecticut right now.

I woke up VERY late (about 15 minutes before church services started), went downstairs, looked out the window, and there was a thin layer of white stuff on my car. I thought it was snow at first, then I got a closer look at the roof.

There were little, icy pellet layered atop the shingles.

Sleet.

There wasn't enough to impede traffic, though, as the cars are still going at full speed past my condo complex. Still, I have absolutely no plans to go out today. As my mother told me on the phone earlier, "Today's a good day to stay in and clean."

Or, it's a good day to procrastinate and blog.
