the sleet begins

 When I got up this morning the birds were waiting at the feeder so I bundled up and took feed out to them.  The sleet was coming down sideways and it stung my face.  The wind was roaring in the trees. The feeder lid was frozen solid so I scattered the seed onto the hard packed sleet.

The blue is snow, red is ice, yellow and green is rain.  Dorothy stayed home from work today. It's twenty miles over hill and around curve to her employment so it was too risky.
