bizarre weather encounters

Welcome to the self-killing thread ;)

Not exactly bizarre weather, but I once drove about eight miles across Hampshire/Berkshire at night in very dense, rolling fog. I was driving from Fleet to Shinfield along totally unlit roads, alternately surrounded by open fields and dense forest. Visbility reduced to about five feet beyond the windscreen. Overall insanity of this expedition enhanced by "Dead Man" soundtrack (Neil Young) on car stereo. And when I say "rolling" fog - it was moving faster than the car for most of the journey. When illuminated by the headlights, dense fog has a very menacing but entracing physicality.

entrancing, of course

I've once witnessed a hailstorm where the hails were the size of a fingertip. We had to stay inside a car because the storm was literally hurting us.
