Come Hail Or High Water

It's not often that I get to blog about our weather. It's either hot, dry, or both. Not much else for 350 days out of the year. The one exception is March. No matter how blah our winter season is for rain, something interesting almost always happens in March. Apparently this year was no exception, nevermind that it has rained only twice so far this year, and for barely a quarter of an inch.

Below is a progression of the storm that hit the house on Sunday afternoon.

Here are the clouds rolling in from the west.




The rain came, and quickly turned over to hail, and more hail, and well, here's what the yard looked like when it was over with.








And as quickly as it came, the sun was out minutes afterwards. This is the same view to the west. If you look closely, you can see water running in the street. In the end this storm produced over an inch of rain/hail.
