You left out the golf ball size hail. Regions Bank building is looking a little rough, eh?

It was an extremely warm winter here on the east coast.
We had snow early in the season, and at Thanksgiving, in Central Pennsylvania, it was 9 degrees on my parent's back porch one morning when I let the dogs out. At Christmas? It was 50.

garrettwc, the hail is good training. I run inbetween the hailstones.big_smile
Your ice chi is strong Tejon san. Speaking of hail, did you see the dash cam video of the Tennessee state trooper from Monday night. He's riding down this two lane getting pelted by baseball size hail stones that you can see bouncing across the road, next thing you know he rounds this bend and there is a tornado filling the left 1/3 of the screen and a tree across the road.
Next sound you hear is some serious rubber being laid in reverse.

An absolutely beautiful day here today, and I'm not being sarcastic. Hardly a cloud in the sky and despite the odd gust of quite cold wind the sun actually had some appreciable strength to it. Daffs are out, snowdrops and irises have mainly gone, the damson tree is not far from blossoming and the wisteria is budding up. Spring.
It's going to rain tomorrow.

I'll try and find one. It was broadcast on the local TV affiliate, don't remember what network. Haven't seen it on the net.

What you want is snow and hurricane force wind (so you don't get homesick). I may know a place or two that would be just right...

Slick...the old van was dancin' a bit.
The old Subaru was dancin' a bit going home from work a few nights ago too, I hit a spot of what I believe you 'murricans call "black ice". Dancin' with full time 4WD and steel studded tyres tends to wake you up, even at 3 am.

I'd say keep it in a lower gear manually on a day like that. Use the engine compression to slow yourself down.
