Would finally build into a tornado...near Strathmore.
Wall Cloud: A wall cloud is an abrupt lowering of a rain-free cumulonimbus base into a low-hanging accessory cloud. A wall cloud is usually situated in the southwest portion of the storm. A rotating wall cloud usually develops before tornadoes or funnel clouds.
Funnel Cloud: A funnel cloud is a rotating cone-shaped column of air extending downward from the base of a thunderstorm, but not touching the ground. When it reaches the ground it is called a tornado.
Snow Flakes

Snowflakes on the hood of my car - I couldn't help but run inside and grab my camera and take some pictures - these are zoomed in of course! They are so beautiful! http://www.theweathernetwork.com/your_weather/web/imagepopup.php?imgname=http://rstorage.filemobile.com/storage/9534290/1085&title=Snowflakes&lang=en
Snowflakes are made of ice crystals. Each snowflake is six-sided and made of as many as 200 ice crystals. Snowflakes form in clouds where the temperature is below freezing. The ice crystals form around tiny bits of dirt that has been carried up into the atmosphere by the wind. As the snow crystals grow, they become heavier and fall toward the ground.
