That didn't go quite as anticipated. I got the garbage taken out, I got the laundry sorted, and then I headed out. Fill the gas tank up, and then it's time to stop and deposit my checks. After that - photography.
Stop in Fred Meyer's (because they have a Washington Mutual inside, nice and handy). Stare at windshield. that's not rain. It's sleet. With occasional tiny hail intermixed.
Scuttle into store, deposit checks. Roads still look wet, so time for that. Come back out. Little pile of sleet on my car. Now, it's not far from my home to Fred Meyer's, and I made a stop along the way. So car is cool. This is still not a great sign. Road still clear. Grass sleeting up.
Not gonna take pics in sleet, end up stranded. Head home. By the time I got home it was just very soggy snow (can it 'slush' on you? - that's what it was doing). Not even sticking to grass. There's a height difference between the store and my house; dunno if it was that, or the time it took to drive.
Either way, I think I'll be a homebody today. Maybe it'll actually accumulate as snow this evening and I can take pictures of that!
I've already turned the heat up a bit. Fall nip is one thing; saber-toothed winter bite is another..... ;)
