My readers on the East Coast or in colder regions of the world should feel perfectly free to laugh at us. But...we're having a rare episode of frozen precipitation here. Not snow, but hail – lots and lots of slushy hail, about the size of corn kernels. Overnight we have a few places where this mixture has accumulated to over an inch (2 cm) deep. The ground is not frozen, and the air temperature never reached freezing, so these accumulations are all on objects that provide good insulation from the ground (some photos later).
Meanwhile, we also got three quarters of an inch (about 1.5 cm) of rain. After a parched January we're under average rainfall for the season, so every little bit of additional precipitation is quite welcome.
Debbie and I are headed off to our local mountains for some sight-seeing later. I'm bringing my camera, so if we see anything interesting there will be photos!
