Snow, sleet, rain, high winds, hail, lightning and thunder. Even sunshine.Except for drought and tornadoes, Warren County experienced just about everything Mother Nature could dish out in a 24-hour period between Tuesday and Wednesday, although there was a brief tornado warning issued for nearby Venango County. (Quote from local newspaper.)
The day started out almost balmy, 45 degrees, then all of the above hit. The winds did some damage, and it was weird to see rain pushing hail down the street, and unusual to hear thunder and see lightning at this time of year. Then a half hour later there was a brief showing of blue sky and sunshine.
By dinnertime we were in the teens and getting colder but everything went on as normal. In Erie they shut down the Interstate to Buffalo for blizzard conditions, and Jamestown was closed at noon time, Sugar Grove got hit fairly hard but we barely got the fringes of this storm system that did so much damage as it raced across the country.
I made a quick trip to Lowe's for a couple rolls of insulation for the boarded up windows and doors but still amazed at how warm the newly insulated and wrapped house feels.
