It was in England where I saw the end of a rainbow. I was driving home and some people even got out their car to look at it. As a weather tech, I saw some of the weirdest weather in England. One winter there was a heavy snow storm blanketing England except at a point about 10 miles from the base, the storm started splitting and a V-shaped corridor formed with no precip falling within the corridor. The weather forecasters could not explain it.
There there was the year a snow shower started unexpectedly that turned into HUGE flakes of snow. I ran up to the weather station to get the latest scoop and the first word of whether or not they were going to close the base. The base commander called three times. The first two asking how long this would last. The chief forecaster took the call and twice told the CC he didn't see where the moisture was coming from to support the snow so it would end soon. I'm looking at the radar and I'm thinking two things: 1. This is an island, there is nothing but moisture around it. 2. That intensity looks pretty strong on the A/R scope... As fortune would have it, by the end of the second storm, I'd say we had a full-fledged blizzard. The third call came about 30 minutes later. I didn't have to wonder why the chief forecaster was turning red because I could hear the CC cussing him out from about 8 feet away. I didn't say anything, didn't look at him or anything. I just went back to the shop and told everyone the base was about to close down. It took almost two hours to get home through snow drifts that towered roads about 6 feet high.
