um... now it's hailing?

Whoah. I thought the temp had to be higher than this for teensy hail. I guess not.

Inuits have a much better language to deal with this weather, with excellent descriptors for every kind of winter precipitation. Kansans call it big sleet instead of teensy hail generally, but since you're a tranplant we'll let you get away with it. ;)

Cute icon!

Thanks. I didn't want C to take me too seriously, after all.

We had that teensy hail two nights ago, and it was amazingly cool.

Better than raining Heil, or Hell.

Nothing worse than scraping Nazis off the car in the morning.

Ah, but nothing smells as good as scraping sizzled Nazi-bits off your windshield in the morning... it smells like victory.

We call it freezing rain. Because here in Seattle, *everything* is about rain. A sunny day is "it rained yesterday" or "it's not raining yet."

I think hail is possible at any time. It requires different formation in different weather I bet. In a thunderstorm the hail is water moving from warm to cold and then falling to earth before it melts. In winter I bet it is similar except it won't worry about melting when it falls.
