most awesome weather I have ever seen....starlit night sky with stars, and to either side, towering cu lighting up ON THE INSIDE with flash after flash after flash.
I was once night flying a C 310 south into the US from Canada (where the cold air comes from Mary). Midway into Pennsylvania, I could see a mighty thunderstorm lighting up inside on the horizon. I was headed to Raleigh, NC, and was not looking forward to dealing with this mighty storm on the way. It turned out that I did not have to, I flew at 180 knots for a bit more than an hour and a half more, and never met it, I was still seeing it ahead, as I approached my destination. I had been seeing it for more than 350 miles ahead.
I live 100 miles northwest of Rochester, NY, and occasionally see the light show on the horizon, of northern New York state getting hit by massive thunderstorms.
