All the fun of the fair

Friday's predominant weather for Oxford is, according to the BBC, sleet with a 23 mph wind. I had forgotten about sleet, all the cold of snow with none of the fun, all the misery of rain with none of the warmth. I guess if the wind is blowing at 23 mph that means that it will be coming in sideways. Saturday is forcast sleet showers and a 12 mph wind.
