Yep. Impressive eh!! Do you think they start out on the prairie? One passed a good distance ahead of us in Lake Superior (2+miles) and shortly afterwards we were steaming through what seemed like a "straw" storm as it all drifted down out of the sky.Funny to watch the Mate going beserk though!! ( fresh wet paint on the foredeck rails...)

Off Essex? Could very well have been, a bit technical for me but I think I read somewhere that if the air temperature and pressure are right they can occur anywhere. Bet one of those running along Southend seafront would sort the icecream sellers out....
