One late night, a couple months after we met, she called me to tell me that she was headed home after an evening out with friends. She also told me that she had gotten bitten on her foot by what she assumed was fire ants. I asked how she was, and she said that her foot had swelled up and that her face was starting to itch. She then mentioned that she was driving by a hospital and wondered whether she should check herself in (and then laughed about it). I told her emphatically YES, so she did. 5-10 minutes after she checked in, they took her into a room where she passed the F out. A shot of Benadryl brought her right back, but if she hadn't pulled into the hospital right then... Oh man..yeah, thank God she pulled into the hospital. Thank God I wasn't allergic, I would have been dead. There had to be a least 25-30 bites on my arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66degreesnorth Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I'll try to sneak this question in before more of the 12Z models come in. Is freezing rain literally just plain rain that falls when the surface temperature is below 32 degrees, or is it rain that falls through sub-freezing air and thus becomes "supercooled" or something like that to the point where it is supposed to freeze on contact with the surface? I've googled this question, and annoyingly I've seen both answers given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GATECH Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 So for some happy thoughts, 6 years ago today. 2015 when getting 6 inches of Champaign powder wasn’t like pulling teeth! We weren’t the snow anus back then! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She got tagged three or four times by bald-faced hornets two summers ago and ended up going to the ER - first time she'd had an obvious allergic reaction since that scare all those years ago. Damn sure she carries around an EpiPen now. I'm like you - I can take hits from all kinds of stinging insects and not react at all )other than pain and some swelling), but let me touch poison ivy/oak/sumac and I'm fugged. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've googled this question, and annoyingly I've seen both answers given. It's fairly easy to envision. Freezing rain has a warm layer thick enough not too far off the ground to melt snowflakes. Rain simply falls into shallow sub freezing air layer near the surface. Warmth is too much for the melted flake to re-freeze into a sleet ball but freezes on contact with the ground. Sleet has a lot of cold air in all levels except somewhere around 5-9k'. Snow falls above, melts to rain in the middle, and has plenty of cold to traverse through on the way down to freeze into a sleetball. Hope this helps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our offices don't want us back, we chose to keep the kid virtual for the time being, and just keep staying home and staying healthy. So I'm okay having to wait my turn. My mom is eligible in MD, but the supply is so low that she's still waiting (65+ age group). Hoping that changes soon, for her sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GATECH Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Y’all are creeping me out with fire ant stories, my brother almost died from those MFers. He was stung about a thousand times after stepping in a mound while retrieving a basket ball. Quick trip to the ER where they didn’t even mess with paper work and got him in right away.

Well dealing with drunks isn't easy, I'll give you that. Thankfully there aren't any here. But only someone with a toddler like range of emotions would need to blame others for their hair trigger emotional states and constant shit posting.
