A Winter Thunderstorm
A strong storm blew through this afternoon. The storm produced thunder, lightning, high winds, hail and rain. The storm produced chatter, too, on Facebook.
Bob we have severe lighting, wind & thunder right now. What gives? This is December right? hang on kiddies, this is going to be a rough one according to the National Weather Service.
Linda Our yard Christmas card is still standing; that will make Bob happy 🙂

Yard card withstood high winds
Bob Now we got rain & hail
Linda The hail set off our bird that chirps Christmas music!
Kathy CRAZY STUFF, right??? 🙂
Bob Real crazy, now it is sunny out.

Hail on our driveway
Tara The North wind doth blow and we shall have snow…
Tina WinterStorm with Thunder and Tornado warnings…
Kimberly im scared! save me tina haha
Sherry well the funny thing is the color outside is consistent with tornados , so i wouldnt joke to much
Sherry it should be okay tho we didnt have the heat before a cold front
Tina Oh, but they spotted on in the Oil City Area…
Linda I was struck by the outside color, too, Sherry. The worse seems to be over for Warren; no tornado!
Tina, if we have a storm like that again, can I come over? I was scared! 😉
Linda
Oh, and Tina, if we get stronger wind and you happen to find our yard greeting card in your yard, will you bring it home?
Tina You bet, Big basement with a huge wine selection.. We’d be fine…
Linda Did you notice the old lady across the street? She was out sitting on her rock, smoking a cigarette while the wind was blowing and it was hailing.
Sheila Tornadoes too!? …is California sliding into the ocean yet??
Tina I didn’t notice, you’d think those aids over there would watch over them better then they do. That hail was hard, it should’ve hurt.If my polar bear shows up at your house be sure to send him home as well…
Tina I haven’t heard yet Sheila, wouldn’t be surprised tho.. What did you think of that storm?
Linda I’ll do that, Tina. However, I might see how he looks lit up on our lawn first hehehe
I was out the other night attempting to photograph your polar bear. One of our friends stopped by our house. He saw “someone” standing in the road. He thought it was one of the people from across the street. *GRIN* I didn’t get a good picture, so I’ll be trying again some time, probably at twilight as this is best time to get a picture of night lights.
Sheila craaaazzy crazy weather! now the sun is shining…pretty blue sky & puffy white clouds….LOL…Love it!
Merridith bbbrrrr!!! Rainy, slushy, thunder… odd. Tonight’s driving is not going to be too grand.
Aaron Deff not, be safe.
Brittany be careful omg
Linda Lot of comments on Facebook about the thunder, lightning , wind AND hail 🙂
Zach Just woke up to a … thunderstorm!! Its … December!! Come on!
Linda thinks she just heard thunder. Oh yeah, I did; just saw lightning too! More thunder rumbling through., shaking house. Geez!
Kailey Atleast you guys got snow. We got some freezing rain then just rain. It feels like spring outside today
Merridith boo.
Linda It just hailed. We have a bird in the living room that is activated by clapping hands or whistling loudly. When activated the bird chirps Christmas music. Well, the hail set off the bird!
Kailey Lol. Mother nature wanted to hear some christmas music 🙂
And after the storm was over …

After the storm, blue skies and sunshine

Pretty strange weather going on , isn't it? Your house looks so nice decorated. I love all your snowpeople! Jean
Wow, what weather!! We have been having cold temps but no snow or winds thankgoodness. Glad you made it through without mishaps:)
Thunder, in winter!! We had it too, but in the form of thunder snow which always means we will have quite a bit!
To say the least it was quite a storm I enjoyed the warm weather the day I went climbing. The sun is out today but cold
That was a fun and interesting read. Mother Nature is sitting back and having a good time with us all.
