This is ridiculous!

[Nancy]

We just had a thunderstorm and it blanketed the whole area with half inch hail. It looks like winter again. The temperature dropped a lot too.

 

[hall]

WOW! Your right..........LOOKS LIKE winter again. YUK! Thankfully, we did not get it.

 

[ShezaGirlie]

Yep, this is 'ridiculous' Nancy...just look at our temp....send some of that down here.

 

[laurad37]

oh my i guess it looks like winter again

 

[Dina]

I'm in the city and we have been having some strange weather,though the
hail passed us by today,last week we had a trace of it. This has to be the
strangest summer weather I have ever seen,people are wearing jackets and
I don't mean just raincoats. As for me I like it cool out,but I do like to go
to the beach a few times during the season.

 

[Eva]

We are expecting thunderstorms after 8 pm!! Strange weather? yes indeed!

 

[Tbone]

I hope everything is OK with your cars, and your roof?

 

[Nancy]

Car's in the garage. The roof is OK so far. The storm is over. It didn't last long, but it was loud with all the ice pellets hitting. I'm sure my pretty flowers got some damage. I was out and about with a short sleeved shirt just a couple of hours earlier, it was in the 70s.

Very strange weather this year.

Merry June 15th!

 

[Bina]

I'm glad that you are okay, Nancy.
Middle of JUne and we have not had the a/c on even once yet. Weird.
The local farmers are kind of freaked out right now.....

 

[Kathy McCain]

Yes, If you listen to Gore and otherS, blame it all on global WARMING???????

 

[Dennis S]

Two weeks ago we had three inches of hail covering the ground. Thankfully no damage to cars or roofs.

 

[zipper2]

Nancy it is ridiculous....kids at schools even have been sick
for weeks due to changing temps here.
Have no idea how to dress anymore
It's a love,hate situation for sure.
Glad you are alright from hail storm,scarey though too.

[Freddie]

Glad to hear your okay Nancy.....you can replace the flowers if need be.
It was 87F here yesterday and today, the same for tomorrow. Only had a bit of rain and thunder roll in and out. Four days ago it was 48F.

P.S.
Bina, we've had our AC on

According to one of our local meteorologists, the higher the storm clouds reach, the greater the chance that Hail will form and fall. I has little or nothing to do with ground temperature but rather, the temperature at the higher elevations that the moistures rises to. Storm clouds that reach 50,000 ft are highly likely to produce hail.

The temperature drops as altitude rises. When these supercells get going, the rain falls within the cloud and gets picked up by updrafts and thrown back to the top of the clouds and the cycle is repeated a few times before it actually leaves the cloud on a down draft.

Guess you don't subscribe to Derrick Jensen,Huh?

There definitely needs to be a change in terminology..like 'global changes'.

 

[Nancy]

What they said about the hail on the weather crawl was that because of the slow forward motion of the storm, hail could form, and they even said it would hail for 15 minutes, and that it would be about quarter size, which is about what it did.

Amazing how accurate they can be in some cases.

All of my beautiful hostas are absolutely shredded, and it looks like Fall here with a ton of oak leaves on the ground.

Anything with a large leaf got hit badly.

 

[hensylee]

I heard it on the news. will you please send us some of it? We are having a HEAT WAVE this week with no end in sight. our temps will be 100+ today with indeces from 104 - 110! I am staying in the house and have the two dogs and all 4 cats in, too.

 

[CThrock]

Our weather here is very strange too. Normally we have over 100 degree temps this time of year and its been in the 80's and 90's. How strange is that for the HOT desert! I'm not complaining though just enjoying it! We could use some rain though. Our monsoons started yesterday so we will see about the rain.
Nancy, you can send any extra cool weather over this way! The heat will raise.
