(All quotes paraphrased, of course.)
At a drive-through, as I was getting my food, the supervisor in the background peered out at the weather and protested, "But they said it wasn't supposed to rain again until Friday!" It was very nearly a wail. I put on my brightest, most cheerful-manic look, and said, "That's okay, though. It's not raining out here - that's sleet!"
She didn't think that was any kind of improvement. In truth, neither did I. Fortunately it's not all that cold at ground level; we were just getting sleet for a while. Interesting, a bit bizarre, but compared to what it could've been, not so very bad.
