First Snow, Followed by Tornados
Last week we had our first snowfall ! I am not a fan of the stuff! But, ready or not, it's here! After it stopped, though, the sun came out and the snow glistened on top of the fallen leaves. It wa s SO pretty! We just had a light layer, and by noon it was all melted. The lake was clear and sparkled, as it met the shoreline. Yellow leaves were salted with snow. Icicles formed streaks of frozen rays on the patio. A lonesome leaf is surrounded b y our first powder. The warmth of the sun soon melted the snow below. Less than a week later we we re bombarded by rain, wind, hail, and TORNADOES! Sunday morning: We debated whether or not to go to church. The weather was predicted to get nasty sometime in the afternoon.The sky was gray and nasty-looking. We went....only to have such a downpour of hail, mid-service, that we were sure the roof would collapse. Pastor cut his sermon short, so we could get home, if things got worse. At home, the wind picked up drastically.....
