During our stay near Garmisch-Partenkirchen there was a massive thunderstorm with wind, rain and hail. It only took about 20 minutes, aftere that streets were white of ice and fog was everywhere. I took a ride to the Geroldsee in hope for a nice evening view - so did six other photographers I met there. Cheers to you guys if you read this!

To endure storms, I say, trust your roots.
Location: Highway 44, South Dakota. Somewhere between Rapid City and Badlands National Park.
As I was walking around Uhrich Locomotive Works, we heard a horn on the Limon Sub that sounded like it had quite a bit of speed behind it. Obviously everyone there has an interest in trains, so we all ran to the front to see what it was. Quite strangely, it was two BNSF Dash 9s on the point of a rather short train. The first few grain hoppers having KYLE reporting marks left me no question as to what the train was - the Limon local was heading east to interchange with the Kyle - just with very big power. No one in the shop seemed to believe my theory, and we went on with the tour and headed home.
Getting back to the house not long after the train, I quite sarcastically asked my other cousin Seth (another casual railfan) if he would ever consider $50 to make the 45 minute drive to Limon, and chase a train back home. To my shock, he answered with a resounding "Absolutely, let's do it. I need to get the hell out of here for a while." I assured him I was just joking but there was no changing HIS mind... and he wouldn't even take my $50 to put in the gas tank!
We began the trek on I70 and noticed some (very much typical) dark clouds to the east. 20 minutes of driving later would take us about 30 miles, and much closer to the cusp of the storm. I began having extreme apprehensions once I started seeing people pulled onto the shoulder, waiting for something. No more than 30 seconds later, my phone started screaming about a severe thunderstorm with "destructive baseball size hail," and I told him to just turn around, or pull over, but to NOT keep pushing forward. He wasn't deterred, and we proceeded east, following the storm all the way to Limon but never driving into it, thankfully.
Getting off the interstate in Limon, I didn't have to wait more than five minutes to hear "BNSF 4170 west" calling the dispatcher to open up and head home with the storm threat gone. That's what you see here. The sun is starting to poke out as BNSF 4170 west departs Limon with a whopping five cars off of the Kyle Railroad, bound for Denver. It was still a steady rain here, but me and Seth both braved the soaking for the brilliant storm lighting.
And the chase was on...

This was a surreal happening in the kazakh steppe . The whole afternoon we had grey overcast which changed during sunset in minutes into a hailstorm. After we brought our sidecars under shelter i went out and started to shoot. This one captured the scene best.
Hailstorm passing over Three Cliffs Bay in Gower, South Wales. Overwhelmed by all the views and comments! Thanks everyone - makes the three hour wait worthwhile!
Late yesterday we had the mother of all hailstorms cut a swathe through Adelaide, including our suburb, complete with heavy rain, strong winds and the heaviest and largest hailstones I have ever seen. The sound of them hitting the roof was deafening. I collected a handful to check the size - largest measured 45 mm long although one at least on the far side of the lawn there seems larger.
This was the scene on our back lawn, just after the event. A little later the sun came out - we had it all in about 30 minutes. Apart from leaf fall and some lost roses, no real damage done here* but in other nearby areas cars were damaged and glass broken.
*Upon closer inspection this morning, we did get some minor damage to our cars :-(
Hailstorm, Adelaide, South Australia
The Old Customs House stands on the harbour wall at Saltcoats. This morning a vicious hailstorm blasted across on a north wind, mostly obscuring the sunlight. I love the dirty sky this phenomenon created. It was as cold as it looks!
This image was taken about 3 or 4 mins. after the last image at the
Pitt River marsh ......... it's about 45 degrees to the left of the last image. Reached 188 on Explore
We got absolutely pelted by this hailstorm passing over us, not helped by the howling winds slamming the hail into a faces. Not that I'm grumbling - it's great fun.

Hailstorm accompanied by strong thunder and numerous lightning flashes pounded us with 3/8" (1 cm) stones for almost a half hour, more than I've ever seen happen here. So much hail it created 'drifts' or banks against the side of the Alaska Highway.
Shortly after a passing hailstone shower 7820 Dinmore Manor passes over Stanway viaduct on the Glos/Warks Railway with a train for Broadway on 8 March 2020. My last picture on my local line for a while?
At a friends to water the garden and this system blasted in, moments later the hail was pounding down...for about 10 minutes. Not sure the garden needs any water!
What does it look like when you get caught in a hailstorm while hiking and the sun's out? This! Walker Ranch Trail, Boulder Colorado.
Ex #4 Front Page Explore :)) Thanks Again !
Over my shoulder the sun was on its way to setting behind a huge black rain and hail storm, two minutes after this on the way back to the car I got a soaking. On the horizon there are rays of light going up into the sky towards the setting sun (?) I’ve never seen that before.
