Word of the day:
Mizzle
verb (used with or without object)
to rain in fine drops; drizzle; mist.
Ex: By the time I left the cathedral it was already dark, mizzling, the kind of rain that looks like mist but drenches you in minutes.
Pat Barker, "Medusa," The New Yorker, April 8, 2019
For the past year or so this has been my favorite new word. Yes, my wife thinks I'm a bit eccentric but really, this word is super-descriptive when no other word will do.
