Strange weather




My mom & dad sent these pictures of their home in Grand Island, NY (North of Buffalo). We certainly don't see snow like this in Brookhaven...But we did have some strange weather here on Sunday.


We took the family to ACME for a food shopping outing. As we were leaving we had all the kids piled in the cart when Bill said..."Oh we better hurry, it looks like a storm is coming!" Not 2 seconds later, it began pouring rain and hail stones the size of lima beans! Bill opened the trunk & literally threw the girls over the seat. I grabbed Matthew & put him in his seat, ran around back & had the thought "Do I help Bill with the groceries or save myself?" Can you guess what I chose? Yep...I continued running & got in the car while my poor husband was pelted with wind, hail & soaking rain. It was quite an adventure. Of course when we finally got in the car & drove away...it all stopped.


So mom & dad...Thanks for the pictures. I hope you thaw out well & have a good week!
