There is no way to describe either of these things but completely worth sitting and watching and waiting for them to happen. Nothing compares.

This is a good thing about living far from any big cities! I know what you mean about things changing before a storm...and different shades depending on the strength. Before a really big wind and rain storm, things get almost yellowish...and still. It's really neat to try and predict what will happen next!

I imagine anywhere flat you can see much more...but I'm still not willing to give up my hills!

From listening to what Sam and Ramius have to say about being on the sea I am thinking that watching the weather from there would be a whole new and different experience. Something really wonderful. I would like a little bit of chance to just see it!

You are right about the flat areas. Oddly though, the old place was not in a flat area. It was very hilly, but my house was on a ridge line between 2 streams. So, I was high enough to see all the area north for miles. Couldn't see as far in any other direction but far enough to be good anyway.

Here, I am in the flatest of flat country. But, being in the midst of a city of 100K people, there isn't an opportunity to *see* the weather like in the country. I miss that terribly. And the wind! Oh, how I miss the wind! I love lying in bed at night and hearing the wind blow! -- and having NO light at all shining in my windows at night. having it *really* be dark!

i'm rambling. sorry.
