Pone Lane Posting - December 9th's Weather

Pone Lane Posting
Yesterday's weather here in Western Pennsylvania was weird and wacky! Rained overnight, windy, hail, cold, then sunny. About noon we had thunder and lightning, pea sized hail, high winds, trees and limbs down. Some areas had electric outages. Gusts up to 68 mph in some areas. The Weather Channel introduced a new word for me - Graupel - supercooled droplets of water condensed on snowflakes. Not quite the same as hail. Who knew?
This morning we have snow on the ground - enough to shovel on the front sidewalk.
