Spring is over in Chicago!!!

Remember yesterday when I said it felt spring-like? Well, that feeling was short-lived. Today I experienced the following: light rain, sleet, heavy rain, sleet, snow, snow mixed with rain, snow mixed with sleet. And this was all during the 30 minutes I was out running errands on my lunch hour. As I was walking, face pointed downward to avoid the sharp, jagged edges of the sleet, I decided that sleet is my least favorite weather experience. Snow is pretty, provided you don’t have to drive in it, and rain is nice, so long as it is not so windy that it breaks your umbrella. But sleet....well, there are no nice things to say about sleet. Does it ever sleet in Seattle? I had a dream last night that I lived there, most likely precipitated by a news item on their 25 days of rain in a row, which I heard just before I went to bed. I think I would take 25 days of rain over sleet any day.
