so this is sleet

I'd always taken 'sleet' to mean 'freezing rain' but it turns out there's a different kind, and that's what we have today.

It's simultaneous rain and snow. And it's a lousy form of weather to combat—too wet for scarves and mitts, too cold and snowy for an umbrella. Sometimes I miss Tokyo.

If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.
