Predailian Update
First, the pea sized hail was great. No damage and delighted offspring.
This one is for "w" who asked about my new neighbors in their 10,000 sf home. That's them in the corner.
To be perfectly honest I had to talk a few steps to the left from my desk to take that second picture. I can't quite see the monster house from my desk.
I feel sorry for your neighbor there. The hail may have really decimated his current crop of berries. There is a field below him that was hit pretty bad from the storm before these latest ones. This far inland it is pretty sketchy to have strawberries as the weather is more extreme.
Hmmn while it's quiet around here how about some projection of where gas prices will be in a couple of months. I don't see it but I'm hoping for steeply north of $4 - really thins out the proles on the 210.

You sure that's hail? It looks like sleet to me. Hail is what you get during violent thunderstorms.
Yes, hail. Round, layered, parts opaque, parts translucent, dumped all at once in just a few minutes at temps in the 50s. Hail.
