Some wild weather today.


It was quite a day weather wise. The temperature got up to 31 degrees when the forecast maximum was 22 degrees. The normal temperature for this time of year is 9 degrees. Then the temperature plummeted from 31 degrees  down to 19 and then all the way down to 7 in two hours. And that's not all. When the temperature got cold we had a thunderstorm with lightning, thunder and heavy rain which lasted several hours. Total precipitation after it stopped raining was 11 millimeters. Very unusual to have a thunder storm this early. I have seen a thunder storm in early winter though and there is one recorded in October several years ago. The picture above shows some cumulus fractus below the cumulonimbus cloud.
