The L was on time, quick, and not crowded. WHAT THE F? I want it to snow every day now...

pedestrian: I think this must be sleet, based on how it hurts when it hits your face. The difference between freezing rain and sleet is that freezing rain is supercooled raindrops that freeze upon impact with the ground. Sleet is frozen while still falling through the air.

Some coworkers say it's hail, others freezing rain, but I think Google supports my claim that it's sleet. Can anyone enlighten me?

I wonder, How other many celebrated Valentine's Day early? Restaurants tend to rush people on Valentine's Day so me and the Mrs. celebrated last night at The Capital Grille.

Walking to the subway? HA! Try walking down a steep hill to the ferry with the wind blowing off the harbor throwing ice crystals into your face the whole way. Did I just channel someone's crotchety 80 year old mother or what?
