An incredible day on an incredibly low risk day as forecast by the SPC (Storm Prediction Center). When April and May are here, you chase the dryline. You enjoy the chase regardless of what happens. Because every once and awhile, you come across not just one easter egg, but an entire basket full of easter eggs.
