I have a newfound respect for meteorologists. They predicted that there would be snow this weekend, and there was snow. And rain. And hail. Hail in April? I'm guessing Mother Nature didn't receive the memo that winter is over.
The hail came and went throughout the late afternoons on both days. They were about the size of rice; nothing that would leave bruise marks on a person or dents in a car. Here is a photo taken around 5:15pm on 4/19/08.
This all fell within a 10-15 minute period. They kind of remind me of packing pellets.
Here are two photos taken around 3:30pm on 4/18/08.
If you look closely, you can actually see the little pieces of hail dotting this picture.
I was trying to capture the image of hail bouncing up and down on the ground like ping-pong balls, but I guess I need a better camera. Still a nice picture though.
