What an excellent afternoon!
Darcey from DustMyBroom showed up at my place and we hung out for a bit and went for a drive.
In person he's a really nice down to earth fellow, way the hell smarter than I am and I think we got along great. We had a very entertaining conversation during the drive about darn near everything, but the main theme that seemed to emerge is how much we love being in Alberta.
On our wayback we hit a really nice thunderstorm, with almost textbook definition. A nice strong downdraft, followed by a clear dryline (The wall of cloud at the leading edge) then a band of rain, a band of pea sized hail, and a band of heavy rain with some lightning. Darceys van has a thermometer built in, so we were able to watch the temperature plummet from 21C to 7C as we drove through the storm.
All in all a great day!

Enjoyed it to and we'll do it again - best
Absolutely!
Haven't met Darcey yet, though it would be great!
We got caught in the hailstorm up by Sylvan Lake. Had to pull ove rwith about 3 dozen other vehicles. The road looked like it was mid december...
Almost nothing I love more than a good storm. I lived a year in Champion AB, theres more storms there than anywhere I've ever lived!!
