Hail


They called it sleet.
But it wasn't wet or mixed with drizzle, so I call it hail.
It came down like hail, bouncing off the ground. 
The Mister was trying to cut grass and came inside until it stopped.
Yeah, he said it stung! Crazy!
It was a balmy 43F degrees (6C) today with wind.
A big change from 84F (28C) just two days ago!

    Ours went from scorching to freezing in a couple days too. And there has been heavy rain in areas but no hail or sleet. It's 54F now but was much cooler last night. I like the cool!

      Yes, I'd rather it was cool than sweltering. This is the damp cold, though, that makes you want to snuggle under a blanket with some coffee!

    It did a little of that here too. I'm really not ready for this cold yet. We had to break down and turn on the heat tonight.

    Tremendous difference in temperature over such a short time.
    Bouncing off the ground !! . . . . very heavy hail indeed.
    Hope it warms up for you again soon.
    It was raining hard here last night but churped up late morning onwards . . . :)

      "churped"? What language is that?

    2. Betsy BrockOctober 4, 2014 at 7:33 PM

      I was wondering about 'churped', too!

    3. EddieOctober 4, 2014 at 7:45 PM

      A typo - should be 'chirped up' meaning it 'bucked up' or improved. . .

    It's very cold here, but I will not give in and turn on the gas heating this early in the season. Gas prices are too high, and I don't want to run up a big bill before the weather gets really cold on my meagre pension! I sit here with my top coat, hat and scarf on and I'm quite warm.

      yes, that was crazy and too cold for October! I'm sure it will warm again, but today was quite different! I stayed inside all day and got caught up on the laundry and cleaned the bathrooms. At least we have a few rooms that look normal and clean now. ha.

    Wow- that is crazy weather. I remember the first time I heard it thunder while it was snowing...very cool! It's not that chilly here yet, but I can feel a chill in the breeze. I think we are going to have a wicked winter.

    If it is lumpy it's hail. Sleet is worse it always seems to be driven by 50mph winds.

    It has been so much cooler here today and yesterday, yesterday it rained like crazy in the morning, and then cleared up, but more rain is, I think, forecast for the week ahead. I hope that you don't get any more hail, that is not nice to be out in at all is it. xx
