    • Hail is large of pellets during a thunderstorm and happens in warm weather.
    • Sleet is small ice droplets during winter. Basically rain that froze before hitting the ground.
    • Freezing rain is just rain is falling when it’s below freezing out and freezes onto things. It’s very dangerous.

    “Ice rain” is ambiguous and I’ve never heard it before yesterday. It sounds more like it would mean sleet.






  • When google started to index paywalled things…

    Google has (had?) a rule. If a site lets them index their paywalled content, then the site must deliver the full content if the referrer is google.com or else they will de-index the site. So when clicking a link on google, the full article should appear. It was an old trick to just google the article title to find a link and click through to read a paywalled article.

    Is that policy gone now?
