Sunny Day, Stormy Day

[nuranar]

We had an unusually pleasant day today, getting above 70F and sunny most of the day. Except for that part with a line of small but intense thunderstorms moving through in late afternoon.

The camera on one of the tall buildings in downtown Fort Worth caught a nice shot of it coming from the west.



I got some pretty nice rain and a little bit of lightning. Apparently the storms strengthened slightly as they moved east. There was some small hail, but nothing severe.

It does make it a bit complicated on figuring out what to wear on winter days like this. The mornings are chilly and the house stays cool, but it can be quite warm in the sun, and especially in the greenhouse-like car.  I went grocery shopping this morning and was happy in my knit dress, with fleece-lined tights and leather jacket. The drive home was uncomfortably warm. So I ran my second set of errands in the afternoon with bare legs and ballet flats and the A/C on in the car. Turning it up or down depending on whether the sun was out or behind a cloud. I'm so picky! :p

Over here tomorrow, we're supposed to get the remnants of the storm system that's caused tornadoes in the Gulf states today. Thunderstorms are forecast. We've had lots of rain since we moved here, but no lightning yet. ...I think I had enough lightning back in Florida to last my entire life, so I'll be quite happy if tomorrow's weather is nothing much. :Þ
