and more hail!

I didn't think I'd post this much past winter, but geez. Last night around midnight a nasty storm came through, loud, bright, wind, hail. Enough hail to not be able to see across the street and it literally roared as it hit the house. Entire yard turned briefly white. Lightning was dazzling, frequent and very, very bright. I'm guessing it was reflecting off of hail. Lots of cloud to ground hits. I hadn't seen more than one hail storm since moving here in 2001 and we have had two this month. Still looking forward to the 80's and maybe 90? for the weekend.

And more sleet..

Per the last entry, what a way to run a spring. 4/20 and its sleeting in Northern Fairfield County, during the day. With a daytime high of 40 (it was 48 overnite and 43 later in the evening). Thunder last night and expected today and tomorrow.

Looking forward to the weekend when we break 80 for the first time since Sept 15, 2008.

What a way to run a spring

Some odd weather... Severe Thunder and Hail storm in the beginning of the month, with temps only in the 40's.

Most odd thing is that the radar shows everything moving west and the sun was out in the east.

Storm 3 - could be the one! (spoiler, it was)

 2/9  Set up is an upper low over TX that heads northeast into TN valley and then transfers off the coast. At the upper levels, there's ...
