Good Nasty Sunday Morning

Good Sunday Peoples

"nasty" is not the word I'd use to describe the weather here in lovely Western New York. The word that came to mind when I opened the door to go shovel was "crunchy" We got 2 or 4 inches of snow last night, followed by a little rain which coated the snow with a nice sheet of ice. It's currently hailing & when that hail hits the ice covered snow, it makes a "crunch" sound. Crunch Snow

Bills play in Cleveland at 1 - looks like they have lovely weather there as well

Some others call it freezing rain. It covers the trees, roads, cars, etc. with wet ice.

I didn't look at wikipedia but it happens when there is warm air sandwiched between 2 layers of cold air. It starts as snow, turns to rain and then is partially frozen by the second layer of cold.
