in the pink

We're in the pink -- that pink strip on the weather map where the mixed precipitation is falling. First snow, then freezing rain, some sleet mixed in (when that falls, you can hear it on the roof). Now it's snow again. Further south it's rain, they are saying most of our area won't get much snow but we are just high enough in elevation that we will get more snow, with a crust. It won't be as cold, they say, so that will be good.
