Thunderstorm in December!
We've just experienced a very rare weather event for December, a thunderstorm! The temperature has been just below freezing for two weeks, but today has risen to 10°C above and raining. By tomorrow it will be back down to freezing where it will stay next week.
This is what November was like, not a lot of snow, but it stayed for most of the month, repeated days of dull weather and light snow flurries.
But this was the view this morning, the snow rapidly disappearing. If it weren't dark out at the moment, I expect a photo would show no snow at all. The sudden rise in temperature and the warm air it brought created perfect conditions for a winter thunderstorm.

It is 7:30 here and we just had a burst of rain but no thunderstorm - at least not yet! It was a lovely day though!

Thunderstorms in the winter are pretty weird.
ReplyDeleteMy sister in Hanover said they had 12C and a thunderstorm this morning so your post didn't surprise me today. how weird, such is Ontario weather. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt happens very occasionally here when cold air from the Arctic meets our prevailing south-westerlies. Nothing but a few slight frosts so far this winter in this part of the world.
ReplyDeleteThat was a r.are weather event alright and it rumbled over top us on it's way to rumble over top you
ReplyDeleteSnow's gone down here too, unusual weather events are now normal.
ReplyDeleteWe had some rain yesterday, but freezing rain before that, so it coated the snow on the ground. Today it's snowing again. Excellent shots!
ReplyDeleteWe had one of those rare thunder storms the other night too.
ReplyDeleteIt was a rather harsh week for weather events in the area of Missouri where we previously lived. Several small tornadoes leaving one person dead.
