Avdave Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Some spectacular CG strikes here the past few minutes. Raindrops are really large, but scattered. Just took a short drive and when they hit the windshield, you can see snow mixed in. Pretty wild. Damn with the snow mixed in Craig, thats crazy 51 here now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BethesdaWX Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 The light show tonight has been awesome in Western HoCo. Multiple CC strikes quickly followed by CG at times. Nice surprise! Very Nice. Lightning hasn't been all that close actually, no wind, very little rain, it was probably 90% hail, and only lasted about 1min, then another 5min burst. Lightning is very bright, I expect to hear a huge Crash & Bang, but its just a gentle roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheesyPoofs Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Better start than your baseball team the first 3 games If we're talking fantasy wise, it's only week 1 and there are 7 days left. But yeah, terrible ( or just unlucky with Michael's team hitting 6 homers in one day) start. To keep my post on topic, heh, surprised LWX's updated zones still have no mention of thunder.
