Storm watch

Freezing rain prevented me from driving in to work this morning. And what better way to celebrate 5 - 10cm of hail than to go for an epic hike!
the dog wants to get home - forget taking pictures

high winds toss the lake
The photos of course, don't show the 80 km winds and the hail stones that were slapping my face. I was trying to come up with a good description of standing on top of a cliff in the storm. Wild was the best I could do.

I'm in need of some great adjectives. Anyone?

Hail is not fun! We got around 6 inches of snow this morning, so I guess spring is on hold for a bit :)

Adjectives? Savage, wicked, fierce, idiotic, insane, out of your ever loving mind...just a few that come to mind.
Your Wild Woman status remains unchallenged my friend!

Sounds like a good day to stay inside by the fire! I'm really appreciating our warm St. Louis spring right about now.

Gosh, your adventurous soul knows no bounds!

I like "loquacious" and "vitriolic" this week.

There is something so awesome about standing in a storm! I love high winds. What a rush.

Brrrr! I sat on my back porch, enjoyed the warm sun and cool spring breeze. I'll repeat what L.Diane Wolfe said: "You brave woman you!"

You went hiking in a hail storm? You are very brave. I will no longer complain about the weather in New Jersey.

Wow, sounds like our weather lately! Today, however, was totally beautiful.
