Barbara Armitage witnesses 30 degree drop on Bull Run Hail fell so fast reporter could hardly see across driveway. ". . . sky just opened up and summer became winter." But reality is more hot weather coming back: "Welcome back to summer" Photographic proof accompanies this story By Barbara Armitage CM Contributing gardening editor Yesterday as I collapsed exhausted onto my bed I happened to catch a glimpse of the digital thermometer on the dresser - 103.5 degrees - I closed my eyes hoping against hope that I had been looking at the radio and not the outside temperature. I was hot, sweaty and feeling as if I had died and gone to - well you get the idea. This morning began just like every other day for the past couple of months and then a miraculous thing happened. It seemed like the sky just opened up and summer became winter. Hail fell at our house so fast that I could hardly see across the drive way. I ran through the house to grab two things, the camera and the digital thermometer. Feeling brave I opened the back door just enough to click off a couple of photos - proof that I wasn't loosing my mind in the heat and then I noticed that the temperature was dropping like a rock. It went from 100 degrees to 70.7 degrees in less than ten minutes. As it turned out Mother Nature was just teasing and except for a few bruises on my flowers the only proof I have of that moment of cool bliss is a photo. - It's going to be another hot one tomorrow - welcome back to summer.
