In other news, I find sleet to be a very unattractive-sounding word. I think it should be re-branded as "Sparkle Rain" to make a bad situation sound more positive and even exciting. There could be a merchandise line, cross-promotions with cold weather gear and a variety show. Perhaps I should consider a career in marketing...
