Just received a huge storm here in Hamilton, that included Hail!

 

It looks like it is tracking towards the Niagara region..

 

Batten down the hatches!

Isn't weather fun? It got a little dark earlier this morning here in Stratford, but the sun has been shining bright since at least 11 am. I've been outside working most of the time and have some sunburn to prove it.

We had some major thunderboomers a few minutes ago. Power flickered in and out. Satellite went south for a few minutes. Now the sun's shining bright and there's no wind, but it's pouring.

here in the hammer I've never seen so many bouts of hail, seemed like every ten minutes it would hail for five minutes, storm lasted about 2 hours, I,ve been away camping north of Kirkland Lake this last week and it stormed on and off the last five days and to come home to this was the icing to a very wet and soggy cake. not a good week weather wise
