We had freezing rain

Was out walking, enjoying the pretty post freezing rain icicles, nearly got knocked down by a bicyclist. Who bicycles in weather like this?

I did, but in my defense:

(1) I came out of the north side of the building, and it was not evident that any precipitation had fallen.

(2) I was in south Texas, after all.

(3) I only did it for a couple of meters.

One broken shoulder later, certain assumptions had to be reevaluated.

It was the strongest high pressure system ever seen - people died of hypothermia in central America. A later acquaintance said he felt the chill on the Amazon.
