Hail

We knew we were moving to snow, but one thing that has been a surprise is HAIL! It has hailed 4 times in the past two weeks. One of those times, Thomas was playing basketball outside at a park while Juli went to Target. When Thomas called Juli to tell her it was about to rain, she checked-out right away. However, before she got outside, it was hailing really bad. She was so concerned about Thomas that she ran in the hail (OUCH) with her groceries to the car, drove in the hail, and picked up Thomas who was standing under a port-a-potty roof at the park. It was an adventurous afternoon! After that storm, we tried to get video and pictures for you. The video here is of slow hail, but hopefully the pictures show you how crazy it gets!


This was a picture of hail piling up at our sliding glass door. We emailed it to our local news, and it was shown on TV minutes later (picture of our TV below; ignore the date - my camera was wrong) during the weather report.... see our names?



Thomas got a handful of the hail after the storm has stopped. We should have made a snow-cone with it!
