Winter decided today it was not through with us. its 3/31 and by end of day 4/1 it'll all be gone. so back to the back yard to see the "pretty snow" I always liked as kid..and still do as an "oldtimer"

Get some interesting clouds? I tried a few shots same day a cold front was passing through my neck of the words. Temp shot up 15 degrees (35F to 50F) an hour after i shot these.

I will try these shots again when everything greens up around here, and the sky shows some "texture", in about four weeks.

Getting green (even though it snowed during the Tigers/Yankees game yesterday) and part of my driveway/walkway/grass is showing again. A few buds on the non-evergreens too.

Two photos in January 2015, two in April 2015 of the same scene in my backyard. Looking south easterly, mid morning.

Is that snow? Naw, its hail. "Hail" yes hail. (bad pun ... sorry :icon_smile:)

April last year, severe thunderstorm moved through my area. about five PM. no tornadoes, but there was rotation in the clouds (with blue sky showing through in spots) and then you can see the ground coating.

Marble sized hail...by dark three hours later it was all melted. Never seen it pile up like this in my life..and I was born in Kansas.
