    I'd take freezing rain if it does anything to reduce the temperature here...
    We get white stuff her too...

    It's so destructive because as the rain hits an object like a sign, tree, or light/ electric pole, the rain freezes to it, forming a sheet of ice over anything left outside. After the storm is over is a great time time to get some amazing winter shots though!:

    I've heard about that; amazing, but that ain't real skiing!




    This is skiing....







    Downtrodden - I like it and the framing as well.
