In my various ramblings over the past couple of months, I've had occasion to have a bit of a whine about the weather. In fact, we were unlucky enough on Thanksgiving Day that the weather outside was about 1 degree C, and windy and raining, so we didn't get to go to the parade. It really was miserable outside. The rest of the weekend was beautiful; still jacket and jeans weather, but nothing more. Well, it looks like that's finally over. The cold we've had so far was just a rehearsal. the real thing's on its way. There's a front coming from northern Canada, and it's a cold one.
The forecast for Friday in Brooklyn is around 32 F (0 degrees C), but as the cold front settles in, by Wednesday next week, we're expecting -3 C. Even worse, with the wind, rain and humidity, it will actually feel like -12 C. That should be fun.
I've now found out that there are two types of rain. The forecast predicts "Rain in the evening followed by rain and freezing rain late." What's freezing rain, and how is it different to normal rain? Does it come down in blocks? Do you need a helmet if you're out in it?
There's even mention of snow on its way. Not that I'll be able to ski to work or anything like that, but snow should be fun. I'll keep you up to date.

Let me know when you no longer think that having the snow will 'be fun'. I'm guessing it will be approx two days after first snow!!

freezing rain sounds to me like sheets of rain so watch out you may get covered in one hahahaha.
