When it snows, your feet sink into it and it's hard to walk, but you can still walk; it just takes longer. When there's ice, it's damn slippery but you can brace yourself and walk carefully, so whatever. When it rains, it's all over the fucking place and there are goddamn rivers you have to cross to get from the sidewalk to the crosswalk, but it's not unwalkable.
But when it sleets, goddamn, when it sleets, there are all of the disadvantages of the above and none of the solutions.
And our stupid mayor won't even give us a snow day because we've already had two. NATURE DOESN'T SCREW PEOPLE AND TRAINS AND CARS OVER DEPENDING ON HOW MANY SNOW DAYS THERE HAVE BEEN THAT SCHOOL YEAR. Asshole has no compassion for those poor little kindergarteners sloshing their way through oceans and icy mountains to get to school. And I really want a three day weekend.
