I love stormy weather. I don't like cold, damp, drizzly weather. Unless it gets cold enough to snow. I'm fascinated with all types of storms and I get bummed when they bypass my area. Especially snowstorms. There have been so many storms that track just far enough south they miss Battle Creek. I don't like it if the power goes out for a few days because that disrupts my whole routines. Ice storms are different because they don't seem like a regular storm, but it sure makes the trees look majestic. I also don't like hot, humid weather in the summer. I'd rather have ridiculously cold temperatures than hot, humid weather. However, my asthma doesn't like either one. I'm rambling a bit here.
My parents live in Grand Rapids, MI. I remember a few times in the past few years where we had thunderstorms while it was below freezing in the middle of January or February. I'm talking sleet and freezing rain accompanied by frequent loud thunder! I also remember a few nasty thunderstorms growing up. I remember one that came through in the evening with a 90 mph wind gust and another at night where the lightning was so close and frequent that multiple power surges fried a bunch of stuff in our house. I also miss the lake effect snow squalls. I loved how there could be a whiteout one minute yet the sun could come out the next minute. I miss all that crazy weather.
