Surprise storm 030814

Hi pals,

This morning it was nice and sunny so the humans went for a walk around our property and left Puffy and I in the house.  Puffy can't walk great distances because he has the popped knee cap and I have problems breathing because we are 7,500 feet above sea level.  The dirt and gravel roads make travel in our Pupmobile (stroller) uncomfortable so we didn't get to go.

The humans walked around our property and picked up trash but momma hasn't been feeling very well so they didn't actually go too far.  Of course we were happy to see them because momma made lunch and then we went to take our afternoon nap.  Puffy and I got settled on the big bed and all of a sudden the sunny skies disappeared and it started to hail.

 The hail was really coming down...

It was covering the dirt with white hail stones...

It even landed in daddy's muddy outside shoes...

The hail was soon replaced by snow...

Yup, it's snowing...
 
Now daddy's outside shoes have snow in them...

Puffy and I braved the elements to do our business... 

And then the storm stopped and the sun came back out...

Like magic.

  1. I don't believe I have ever seen that much hail. That's pretty cool.

    1. Kisses to you Hobo!!!! It was actually really neat. It hailed for quite a while then the snows came. Today all that is left is a small patch of snow and frost on the ground. Oh yeah, and mud once the sun thaws out the frost, so there will be lots of feetsie washes. You really haven't seen anything until the Monsoon season comes; the amount of rain dropped is really something.

    1. It's sunny as can be today - not a cloud to be seen but that can be deceptive as things do change quickly here. We do have some really pretty sunsets and sunrises. Also, some of the storm clouds are really awesome too.

    1. Your East of us right? Not that it really matters because Mother Nature does her own thing so your at her mercy. We would have like the storm to have stayed longer to give the vegetation more moisture but we were happy to get what she sent our way. It made a really nice nap day - BOL.

    1. Let's not get momma started talking about daddy's shoes. He leaves them all over the place and it's a thorn in momma's side.

      In regards to the weather, the humans once went to the local Wal Mart store and it was a nice sunny day, but when they came out it was so windy that it was hard to push the shopping cart. Things change fast here, and without warning.

    1. Yup, this isn't the first time we have had hail, rain, snow and sun all in one day. You just can't rely on looking out the window. If you see storm clouds they might by-pass our area and dump moisture someplace else. Several times we have had the sun shining WITH snowflakes falling!

  7. We say here about the weather:
    "Well, its Michigan, eh?"

    Yup...it changes in the blink of an eye here sometimes, too.
