    People, we are doing a rain dance , not a hail dance ! Let’s keep it together now.

    You believe the hail stones being reported? As far as the river goes, we’ll take liquid in any form?

    Down here in the Rochester area there was a lot of golf ball size and some baseball size too. I guess some yards looked as if it has snowed.

    Ahhhhh… The dreaded Carpox. Everybody stay away from St. Michael AND from Tuck, you know that’s a contagious condition.

    There was a guy last night on the news going out in the heavy hail with his kids bike helmet on to collect the large hail . Can you say moron

    We got called out on weather watch, and it got pretty sketchy there for awhile. It’s nice when you have to take the truck out of the garage and go let it sit outside at the firehall to go look for bad weather

    Are you a firefighter? Or are you just a weather spotter? I just ask because I have wanted to become a weather spotter ever since I learned they have training for that.

    I am a volunteer FF. We get to sit in the truck all night and watch the skys. Training is usually once a year localy with a bunch of other departments, but I think anyone can come and learn more. Very interesting training.

    Beats sitting at home comfortable, with a cold beer, and the family

    You do if you want to become a weather spotter.
    Do you know people like I do who misread these meteorological events ? And you end up laughing at them or rolling your eyes?

    Look at me all serious and what-not.
