What the Hail?
With rain last night and then again this morning I was already thinking to myself, "Hmm, the rainy season isn't quite over yet." With warm and dry weather the past few weeks I was starting to feel like we're rolling into summer. I was even wondering to myself how soon I might need to switch on the air conditioner. In fact just yesterday I hauled the patio furniture out onto the balcony. Then this morning... hail!
The rain turned to sleet/hail and pounded us for 10-15 minutes.
Since it's not really cold out (it is cool, though) the ice mostly melted away within a half hour.
Update: While I was distracted by the hail storm I didn't notice the eArThQuAkE that occurred at 9:39am. It was magnitude 3.8 and centered just 12 miles away. Link: NBC News article, 4/16.
