Yep, I saw that line on radar and got the automatic notification of the warning. I even had called my husband over to look at the line it was so pronounced as if it was spring or summer severe weather coming in. What a winter, and to think I bought a new ski outfit and skis last year. So much for using them this year.

We were outside puttering when it blew in. Totally had a summer thunder storm vibe to it. Very freaky in January.

That big black wall of clouds followed me all the way to Massachusetts where I was meeting a friend for dinner. I drove down in sunshine but in the rear view mirror all was very dark. I arrived at her house early. She lives right on a big pond, so I hauled out one of my beach chairs and watched the storm come in...it was wild!!!
