Weather It Is (February 20/21st Storm Testimonial)

Around midnight we had the 3rd and final wave that hit us and the stuff the clouds threw at us was wild.  It seemed to be, at one time, a combination of hail, large grapple and snow. Man, it sounded like our house was being hit by a barrage of snowballs. Big chunks of stuff struck our windows, stuff that was too soft to be hail but too big to be snowflakes. These were snowy clumps that fell out of the sky such that I have never seen nor heard of.  What was that? Monster grapple?

Also the lightning that we had on erev Shabbat was of an intensity and frequency and overall duration of the waves of storm that came in that neither my wife nor I have experienced in our 34 years of living in Gush Etzion.

That was quite a storm, one of which will be hard to forget.

P.S. The storm continued as such until morning.
