I’m OK with any of it… but if I had to pick I’d say snow… or fog.

I enjoy them all. The only thing I do miss are the massive Manhattan-sized thunderstorms that used to rock North Texas with sound, fury, softball sized hail, and tornadoes. Strange, I know.. but I really got off on violent storms growing up. I love when nature makes me feel small and insignificant. Somehow, it feels more like a fundamental human conditional truth than anything else.

Not strange, toad… one of the few things I mis from the year I lived in Sioux Falls are the tornadoes. Oddly, I also miss the rare earthquakes form growing up in Seattle.

I love thunder storms and believe or not we had a brief one here last night. Thunder and lightning, the works. Then the rain turned to snow.

We had a VERY brief one in CdA too. Heavy rain for about a minute, could flashes of lightening and then it was over. Or I fell asleep. Dunno.

CindyH - I might be different if I had a hand to hold during a thunder storm……. my X use to just laff and take the piss out of me for my fear and would open all the curtains and windows…… what a caring chap he truely was LOL

I can deal with any weather condition, but I don’t like fog the most. Have driven in fog so thick I had to hang my head out of the window to see the lines. No fun.

I adore thunderstorms and am bummed we don’t seem to get decent ones around here anymore.
Marmite, I think what your ex did is probably grounds for justifiable homicide. What a slime!

JeanC; I totally agree. The Flathead Valley of NW Montana has the best. Thunderstorms. Ever. They scare you to death. They rumble out of the Bad Rock Canyon (Think: Hungry Horse, Coram, Martin City & West Glacier) and knock the denizens flat. Terrific noise. Great lightning. The ones we have around her are pikers by comparison.
