weather report, according to the old english:

Hægl byþ hwitust corna; hwyrft hit of heofones lyfte,
wealcaþ hit windes scura; weorþeþ hit to wætere syððan.

(Hail is the whitest of grains, whirled from the loft of heaven, swirling in the gusts of wind, and then into water it melts.)

~~

Is byþ ofereald, ungemetum slidor,
glisnaþ glæshluttur gimmum gelicust,
flor forste geworuht, fæger ansyne

(Ice is exceedingly cold, immeasurably slippery.
glistening glassily, it most resembles gems,
a floor wrought by frost, beautiful to look upon.)


well actually they're definitions from the old english rune poem, but that is pretty much what i see out of the window this moment.
