A Slurpee falling from the sky
Well, I guess we can all agree, winter's finally arrived.

Just to the northeast, in Baltimore, this story captures the scene.
Incidentally, your intrepid Salt Institute staff maintained regular hours fielding calls and dispensing hope that things would be better with "sensible" amounts of salt on the roads.
