What the Hell?
We just had a freak ice storm. Well, not exactly a "storm," per se, but there were pieces of ice falling from the sky. I don't think they were quite big enough to qualify as hail, barely pea-sized, but when you're driving through town on your way home from Taco Bell and suddenly your windshield is bombarded with ice chips, you tend to notice.

Right now, I would give every penny I own (probably around thirty bucks in spare change) to be lounging on a beach somewhere.

Technically, it can hail anytime, particularly during severe weather. Sometimes it hails right before or after a tornado.

We've been having a lot of rain, lots of thunder and lightning yesterday, and it was overcast today, but I certainly wouldn't have called it "severe weather." Plus, it was forty-three degrees, which is partly why the ice was such a surprise.

We did have an honest-to-goodness hailstorm with icecube-size chunks here a few years ago--my car still has pockmarks on the hood.

Isaac said it was sleet or frozen rain. We got into a stupid argument over it. Heh.

Around here the temperature dropped quite a lot, and we had a freeze last night. It was quite cold here in contrast with the previous few days. That's April in Tennessee.

It got down below freezing one day last week, to the point that it actually snowed, and then the next day it was in the fifties. I think "Midwest" is synonymous with "Crazy Weather."
