Thunder and lightning

No, no snow heavy rain at the moment Thursday/Friday morning we had a frost then during the day it warmed up

@ScribbledAdNauseum I've not heard of tat before, but you could well be right, I guess only time will tell.

@kevin1877uk I think you misconstrued. I've heard that if it thunders during winter, snow will come ten days later. We've had frost but not much else. It's been too hot relatively speaking.

When that photo was taken, in Chico CA, over 3 weeks or so we have 7 thunders storms. 2014.

@infatuatedbby Ok to capture lightning you need to set your camera right. You can't really take photos of lightning during the day, best at night or when it getting dark, darker the better. I have DSLR and using a tripod, and the following setting would be ISO 100, F8 and taking exposures of 8-120 seconds depending on light. Once one shot is taken you take another shot. Time between the lightning to cut down the number of shots if you want to. If the lightning is close together you have a better chance of getting a good shot. All in all its a matter of luck and getting it right. When taking photos of fireworks the same applies but with less time, maybe 3-8s seconds.

@kevin1877uk Wow! It is so hard to capture thunder, you must have your camera handy at all times!!

Cooler weather then.

Did you have much rain?

@kevin1877uk slow and steady, doesn't seem like too much, but I know it can add up

@just4him Far toooooo cold for me.

Oh that sounds cold.

@kevin1877uk Single digits. I'm sure the wind chill will be way below zero.

They had forecast them yesterday what I heard on the radio. It's just crazy mixed up weather.

@kevin1877uk Our weather man doesn't know what he is talking about. It was supposed to have snowed today and it didn't at all

@T_gray They often get it wrong.Welcome known over here forgetting it wrong.

I don't know, I was surprised and the rain which follow, still raining now. They did forecast it in the south yesterday on the radio.

@Darroch It like thunder rain at times, like it someone turned the tap on. Yeah so do I, I need to go out soon in it.

@kevin1877uk Is the rain you have heavy like thunderstorm? Or is it more normal rain? Hope the rain stops for you soon and that you don't end up with any flooding near you.

Oh dear sorry to hear it has.

Oh dear, I love it myself :)

I've heard people say that, yes it's crazy all right, crazy weather we are having this winter.
