The friends who were coming into town to go the concert with me just cancelled. Feh.
Feh indeed. I hope you find someone else to go with you, or go on your own, Aurelia.

My ticket is paid for. I'm still going. It'd just be more fun with friends.

AWESOME
Which is Rosie, Aurelia, and which is Gilda? They're both beautiful.
Is frozen rain just teeny tiny hail? I couldn't figure out what to call it when the deli guy asked me. Of course, now it's all fat snowflakes. I'm afraid I hit the wall on cleaning my apartment, and it's not nearly clean yet. Ah well. At least I'm unpacked and have made a first attack on many of the piles.
Rosie is the orange short-hair and Gilda is the orange & white medium-hair. They're 7 month old sisters.

This was like little pinpricks of ice.

Pretty much, but different from "freezing rain," which only turns solid after it hits the ground.
Rain that freezes on the way down is the first (or seed) cycle of hail formation. It only becomes hail if it is sucked back up into the storm and acquires more frozen layers.
Sleet is a mix of rain and snow, or rain and very small hail.
I'm taking a break from power-cleaning the house, or at least the visible portions of it. This features a lot of banishing-clutter-to-the-back-porch, and vacuuming the visible surfaces. My old roommate from college is going to stay overnight, which is going to be cool!
