Two days ago, I witnessed hail for the first time.
It all began quite simply - the morning was particularly warm. I had two tops on and already felt so suffocated. Then in the afternoon, the sky darkened and a few wind howls later, it sounded like little pebbles were being thrown onto the glass windows of my office. Everyone gathered around to watch it fall - from where we were, we could see other curious onlookers from the buildings across us. It's hard to describe what it was like; the best I can do is... little ice balls? So here are some pictures for other hail virgins. I've only seen snow once, when I was in NY in Jan. Even then, I just saw the snow on the ground so this was so exciting for me - to actually be able to see it fall from the sky. It's similar to snow, but a lot bigger and more solid. Oh, and it really hurts when it falls on your head.
The initial downpour.
The surrounding area.
The Aftermath.
It's Christmas!
The bigger hail stones. Imagine that falling from the sky and landing on your head! Weight + Gravity = Bruises.
To end it off, I got to add an action sport shot. Just because I'm now some sort of activity junkie. :/
Oh so magical.
