Anybody Else Enjoy Today’s Early Morning Spring Storm?

Did you happen to notice this morning's thunderstorm that rumbled through Rochester around 7 a.m.?  After our never-ending winter, I told myself I'd make it a point to enjoy all those sure-fire signs of spring. And being that I'm on the air in the afternoon, I got to enjoy a cup of coffee at home and watch as the skies get REALLY dark and eventually gave way to the lightening, thunder, and rain.

We didn't get any hail at our place, and thankfully, the storm wasn't too severe and didn't cause much damage across our area, from what I've read.  But it DID get dark. So dark, in fact, that our solar-powered deck lights even turned themselves on. (They normally don't go on until around 8 p.m.!)
