RE: heat and water

What's sleet?
(Okay, I know what it's supposed to be, I've just never seen it.)
I grew up where frost is an experience you got the camera out for. About
broke my heart to move here where it happens every winter. I think real snow
would kill me. Of course, you've got all those months in which you don't
have to feel guilty about not weeding. Hmmm.
On second thought, I experienced Minnesota this June. I'll stick with the
desert.

It does rain in Indy in the summertime.

Nope, it sleets in winter; it snows in winter. It can get downright
crappy in winter, precipitationally speaking. But you can dance in it if
you want.
