I have been through storms like that Rick. Was setting up camp when a severe storm came through. Turns out we were also under a tornado watch with that one.

No tornadoes in Europe, not much lightening either.

Never got hot or humid.
Wasn't bone chilling cold like here.
They did know how to pile on the white crap.

There were times in the Winter that I wore a fatigue shirt with long handles and no field jacket. Was plenty comfortable.

Yeah. I was wearing trousers, a t-shirt and a Jacket. was really comfy. Had a fleece jacket that can zip into my one jacket in case it was needed. Had that when we got back to the states. It was cooler here then it was there.

Thats alot of hail. Worst thing we had was some turbulence on the flight to Heathrow and then from London to Berlin. But I thought that was fun. For me the flight to London was the first time I had ever been on a plane.
