Weekly Challenge #157 - Extreme Weather

Weekly Challenge #157 - Extreme Weather

So with all the wacky weather happening around the world of late I thought this might be a pretty good opportunity for the Weekly Challenge.

So this week your mission is to show me the weather....I want to see hot sun, icy snow, sleet, hail, flog, flood, thunder, wind or rain...basically if it is weather it works.
The more extreme the weather photos you have, the better!
I look forward to seeing your entries - Lisa

Challenge ends on Sunday, January 23 at midnight!

The fine print....
1. Post ONE photo (max 1024x1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread, and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme (especially if it's not obvious).
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose 1 of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus a day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax camera will do or a Samsung DSLR.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.

I'm going to go in a different direction.

Extremely nice weather!

You mean this one, Jeff?

Not exactly the white out conditions RollsUp captured at least not down here at the oddly named Sandy Beach Park just over a week ago. I turned back when I lost the feeling in my fingers.

Typical tropical thunderstorm, shot while driving very,very slowly (due to extremely wet road and low visibility)

I don't think this qualifies and isn't an entry (olympus OM4 with Ectachrome) but I thought I would show it anyway.. New Years, 1999, Dec 31, 1998-Jan 1999. 2 feet. For the interested, that is 'The Hound's' predecessor, Charlie AKA, The Beast.
