So, this is what they mean by "freezing rain," heh

These pics--showing a thin layer of bumpy iciness--are from a patio table and tarp on my back porch. Anything that looks wet is actually icy. I've never experienced "freezing rain" before. Heh, me and the kids were literally baptized in the stuff as we ran from my daughter's school to the truck this afternoon. Well, okay, it was more of a slightly stinging Anabaptist sprinkling, but it did the deed. As far as freezing rain goes, this isn't all that bad, so say my neighbors. Makes for slippery walking and the D.C. communters are having a horrible time (my husband phoned to say he's gone all of 1 mile in the last half an hour). There's a forcast for a bit more tonight, but temps should warm up by morning commute time. Welcome to Virginia, heh.
