Let it snow, let it sleet, let it rain/snow/sleet/mix. . .

Welcome to winter in the Commonwealth of Virginia! Last night I was driving back from RCIA classes and noticed before I went in that some of the sleet last night was beginning to stick. Sure enough, after the catechists left and we were done cleaning et al, there was a good layer of slush on the roads. Needless to say, the 4×4 on the truck came in awful handy.

Today it seems to be raining with a sleet mix, which later on this evening will inevitably turn slick. Elsewhere in Baltimore, they are getting six inches and counting, and New Englanders can expect a foot of snow.

Sounds like the start of a bad winter to me.
