This is winter???

The last month and a half here in Houston has been warm and rainy.  Very rainy.  Which is fine, last year we were in the middle of a nasty drought.  But tonight, well, along with the drizzle and the cold temperatures, Mother Nature was tossing little tiny bits of ice down as well.  Sleet, or ice pellets, take your pick... it was quite amusing to say the least.  I know it was sleet as I took a hard drive plastic case, held it out in the open, and watched things going *plink* and bouncing.  Rain doesn't do that.

So it's not snow.  It's still some kind of wintery stuff, even if it melted after a few seconds on the sidewalk.  I'll take it, although I'd still love to have some real snow.
