High Plains Hail Storm

Hi All,

In the past few days we drove across Kansas and on to the suburbs of Denver.

About 100 miles east of Denver the sky got black with lightning strikes every minute or two. Then the road curved towards the storm. Light rain, heavy rain, light hail then very heavy hail.

The hail chilled down the windshield so fast that there was so much condensation that the defroster struggled to keep up. When we finally got a clear view ahead, we realized the highway was covered with two inches of slush!

Thirty minutes later when we arrived at the campground we found ice packed around our folding step.

All is fine now. Tomorrow we drive across Colorado.

Love,
