A Sea Of Red

It is sleeting outside. Love it

It was. That was strange.

That was really strange...didn't know it was THAT cold out there.

It's that cold in the upper atmosphere...and is an indication as to how cold its going to get here over the next few days.

and the 1 PM Airport readings:

Light Small Hail/Snow Pellets Rain

43°F
(6°C)

I didn't know that 40 degree weather could produce sleet ??!!!????

I think sleet/icing occurs when the upper atmosphere is very cold and the air down here is above freezing. And snow happens when the air down here is also below freezing. Something like that. It's been a while since I had earth science.

All I can say is that it was brutally cold. We had just hiked with my family up to the monogram when it started coming down. We instantly were reminded we weren't in Houston anymore.

I hope you were wearing your cowboy boots.

Did anyone run outside and put their windshield wipers up?

Well played, ATrain.

That's what she said.

Sly did you and your family make it to the top of the monogram to the gazebo? We did, did it last Friday, overcast day

Yeah, we made it but nearly froze in the process with the sleet.

Today we scaled the Peaks of Otter as snow flurries fell around us.

I am so looking forward to a warm bed in Texas on Thursday.

I think we skipped another season. We went straight from Summer to Winter. OH Well. Sorry the weather wasn't accomadating SLY.

It was snowing in Lexington when I was there tonight.

Global warming at its finest
