Wintery Mix

Has anyone out in the blog-o-sphere heard of a "Wintery Mix?" That is the weather forecast here in New Haven. It is a mix of snow, sleet, rain, and ice and it makes for really really bad roads. It is supposed to warm up from the 10 degrees that it has been, to 45 degrees in a two day period of time with the middle consisting of "wintery mixes." I'm learning that the east coast has strange weather. Wintery mixes, Noreasters, and Super Storms are not what I expected when I moved here. Bex doesn't seem to mind the weather...
