_melody_ Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 We've already had a couple of episodes of hail here. Typical Alabama spring. The storms are my least favorite part - well, that and the pollen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crissy Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 We're getting a mix of rain and snow in Kirkland. It's typical this time of year; our baseball games tend to 'snow out' rather than 'rain out' before May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helena Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I love hail! Except when it's so big it wants to crush my skull. :001_smile: Here's an awesome video the girls and I have been watching: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine being caught out in that. I just asked my 12yo what she would have done and she said SCREAM!!!! and cry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0mmaBuck Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 So we had the 3.4 earthquake out by Mt. Rainier this a.m. that took out the power in parts of Tacoma, Ft. Lewis, and McChord. Then the all day friggin' rain. And then we had enough hail today that the ground was blanketed in white for a few minutes. Yup. Loving today.

Every time there is a sun break I get outside and work on one of my many yard projects. Friday looks great so far:001_smile:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annlaura Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I always loved hail as a child. I still kind of like it, but now I know about property damage. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntieM Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) I spent most of the day outside in our beautiful sunny 70 degree weather. HOWEVER, Monday night we had golf ball size hail here that caused a lot of damage in the area. We had some damage to our home and two cars. Many in our neighborhood have roof damage and broken windows. And we're supposed to get more rain, hail and severe weather tomorrow. :glare: ETA I have never experienced this size hail before. It literally sounded like a baseball pitching squad was in the yard firing fast balls at the house. Loud and scary.

We couldn't figure it out, thanks! We also had a bit of snow mixed in with the rain today - it was seriously a weird day in more ways than one.

PinkTulip Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 If it makes you feel any better, we had 8 inches of SNOW on Sunday here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind storms most of the time, but at this time of year they are frequently accompanied by tornadoes, especially if there is hail involved. I hate tornadoes.

Peela Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Wel, we just had our first rain in over 2 months, and the temperature has just dropped under 30C degrees (86F) max for the first time in many months. I think autumn has finally arrived. A year ago, we had a record breaking hail storm with hail stones between golf and tennis ball size. Tens of thousands of cars were damaged. Fortunately we were at home and our cars all tucked up in bed. The weather is weird, no doubt about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
