If only this wasn't the third time I'm telling this story. Hahaha
So let's see- Northern Hemisphere. June 15. That means it's summer, right?
Apparently not, according to the sky above. Thunderstorm after thunderstorm for a few days, that's not new. A bit weird for early June, but nothing too strange. So around 5:30, 5:40ish last night, the thunder starts back up and the power flickers again. Then, without any warning at all, the rain starts. It's pouring- you can kinda tell in the picture. No, that's not my car. The wind starts up too, roaring at much higher speeds than you'd usually expect with the average thunderstorm. Give it a few minutes. Then the hail starts falling. Not the little chunks we usually get in winter- much larger pieces, probably a centimeter or two in diameter, I'd guess. Last I checked, it's summer in New York right now. Not winter.
As I'm writing this, the sun is being all shiny, probably trying to make up for yesterday. Hahaha. It's still kinda chilly out, though. Well, it feels chilly. It really isn't that bad, only 63 or so.
If you look at the bottom of the grass line in the picture, you can see the little white specks- those are pieces of hail. There were a lot of them, too. It was even worse a little ways east of my place, where the storm drains were overflowing and the hail was starting to look like snow.
And then you look at New Jersey, where it might have well been snow!
Ah well, apparently we're not the only ones getting weird weather. I wonder if it'll last all summer. Haha.
