The day after Christmas proved to be a rather miserable one, weather-wise, in our area. We awoke early Wednesday morning to strong winds and rain, and conditions didn’t improve as the day went on.
Folks commented that at least Christmas Day wasn’t rainy. It would seriously have hindered all the visiting the “Motor family” had to do.
These were the storm clouds late Wednesday afternoon, just as I was beginning to hear thunder in the distance.
Thunderstorms in southeast Virginia in December are somewhat rare.
Later, Motor Man and I traveled to Hampton for dinner with friends. The combination of storm clouds and the setting sun gave the sky an eerie appearance during our trip. This was taken from the parking lot at the restaurant.
Just after I took that picture, we noticed a few employees from the restaurant pointing to the sky behind us. Motor Man “called it” even before we turned around.
I don’t recall ever seeing a more brilliant rainbow.
I could even make out Roy G Biv!
