Winter Weather Precautions
I'm not an expert on winter weather, but I find this to be quite entertaining (emphasis mine):http://www.crh.noaa.gov/lmk/winter_wx/winpns1.php
-------------------------------------------
Sleet is sometimes incorrectly referred to as an ice storm. Sleet is frozen rain drops, ice pellets, which bounce when hitting the ground. Sleet does not stick to trees, but a sufficient depth can cause hazardous driving conditions.

During winter weather conditions, remember the following:
* Avoid all unnecessary travel.
* Plan all trips in advance, giving someone else the route.
* Allow plenty of extra travel time.
* Wear loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing in several layers.
* Cover your head, hands and face.
* Do not kill yourself shoveling snow
* Remember to also protect animals with shelter, water and food.
