weather eventing

Weather is exhausting, isn't it? Today's promised "weather event" was a white-knuckle freezing-rain warning, with lots of panic rays bouncing around, a day of threats and cancellations, but in the end it was ice chips in the fields and a few slippery spots on wood or metal and otherwise just big squalling rain coming at you angry-ways.
