Thank you for all that info. Here freezing rain is a rare unwelcome event -zero to three times per winter- and it melts immediately it touches the ground or the skin -after trying to pierce it like a needle-.

In this globally warmed times, we have here now very variable autumn/winter seasons. It's increasingly rare to see trees in gold and bits of orange -this year they look much like straw or burned straw- and we had the cold resistant Patagonian mosquito (aedes albifasciatus) buzzing around until a couple of weeks ago.
