Hell, That's HAIL, Mary!

I drove out to Belle Isle this morning, and twice was hit by tiny pellets of hail while sitting in my car looking on the cityscape.

Weird.

What day is it again?!

Not weird. Hail happens in the spring.

Be glad it's not freezing rain. I've had it snow on me when I was putting the boat in on Mothers day.

Were just coming into hail season. May and June are the peak hail months.

Worst post ever.

I took a crap today, should I post about it?

Oh, please do. I'm sure it would be an improvement over some of the crap on the non-Detroit side.

Rjij...your post is worse than the post about the hail. I found the fact that it hailed interesting.

Hail means high winds aloft drawing warm moist air up into the high clouds thus freezing it and dumping it back down. Hail is a sign of unstable air/front/mass moving in to the area.
