"Mama! It's Snowing Ice!"

We have had some weird weather today! My mama called me about noon to inquire about our local weather (we live 3 hours north of her). I told her it was warm, beautiful, and sun-shiny....the little children had been outside playing all morning. She told me that their weather man informed them of stormy weather in our area. She knew that I would not have the TV on, so she wanted to make sure that I knew. I assured her that it did not even look like rain here.

About five minutes later, in a matter of seconds, our weather went from bright sunshine to a dark sky and major hailstorm!
Did we run to the basement for protection? No! I grabbed my camera, and the children all went running outside to catch some "sky ice". Sam excited told me, "Mama! It's snowing ice!"

I later turned on the TV for a weather report. We were under a tornado warning for brief time. We ate our lunch in the basement, but within 30 minutes the sun was out again.

Weird weather!
