I'm a Florida man living in a winter wonderland, this was very useful! Thank you

I love weather. It shows how awesome and amazing God is in creation. Very interesting.

Well said. Short, sweet, and simple.

Sleet can still be kind of tricky to drive around in, but at least it doesn't stick to power lines, trees, and such, like Freezing Rain does. Of the two, I'd much rather have Sleet.

Hot Take, Freezing rain is deadlier than blizzard

It’s gonna be Freezing rain and sleet in Northern Florida, Maybe even some snow.

My 9 year old girl said, "Daddy she's beautiful". Thanks for the lesson in sleet.

So you call it sleet and not hail, right? 'Cause on internet I found also hail.

I like how the tall dude wears dress shoes and not sneakers.

A little too fast for the kiddies. Instead of the green screen.. make huge cutouts of snow, rain, etc😊
