Why not both?
We really didn’t get snow in my neck of the woods, it was more like that graupel stuff/freezing rain/iced over whiteness. Saturday was more like driving on snow; Sunday stayed home all day, but walking was a bit tricky; Monday was slicker yet walkin and the roads were a bit clearer and slick in places. Straight freezing rain has happened before in the mid valley, but some think it’s new phenomenon each year…more unprecedented too.
Indeed, less fun to partake in, but makes for compelling video.In Seattle we like to use cars and buses for sledding on the street!

I'm definitely not a fan of out of control sledding, had a couple cracked ribs as a result.Or targets to hit while sliding down the hills out of control...
So this one time when I was kid growing up down south we had a significant freezing rain event, and me and a buddy were roaming around the neighborhood with our sleds looking for good runs and decided to hit a very steep, unmaintained grass slope. The long grass had frozen standing straight up, like 8-10 inches tall in places. I don't know if I went down face first on my first run, but at some point I did decide to go down face first, which was a very, very bad idea. The tall ice grass blades functioned as actual blades as I flew down the hill, and when I finally stopped in front of the tree line, my face was all cut to hell. Ah, good times.I'm definitely not a fan of out of control sledding, had a couple cracked ribs as a result.
