I hadn't seen hail in Tempe AZ since maybe 2011.
When the hail started pounding on our roof, I grabbed the camera to snap a photo of the rare phenomenon. A lot of other people were doing the same and posting on NextDoor - a whole street covered in little white spheres.
They were melting quickly, as you can expect.
Good morning Steffy. Just when I thought you were going to rub it in for those of us up North. Wow! Enjoy your day!

Hi Wayne Martin , it felt like a news-worthy event ...
Thanks for stopping by.
We went through all of October and most of November with sunny skies and absolutely no rain. However, drops are beginning to fall here in Sacramento, and a winter storm is moving in. It's going to keep 5 members of my family from traveling to my home from Reno, for Thanksgiving dinner.

Myrl Jeffcoat , it's not fun to drive in stormy weather, I am sure you will catch up quickly after the rains. Lots of holidays coming ... :)
HI Steffy Hristova - I saw this on 12 news. From afar it looks like snow. The kids were sledding into the catch basins in the parks! How fun.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello Steffy - that's quite the juxtaposition - snow and cacti. Definitely a photo opportunity.

Hi Steffy, we have had 2 hail storms in PA recently (during a nice Spring day even!) so I know the shock of seeing it.. but even more so in Tempe AZ!!!

Hi Sheri Sperry - MCNE® , it was short, did a lot of damage on my flowers, and went away quickly.
Hi Michael Jacobs , thanks for stopping by. I am watching how our agave is recovering from the encounter. They are quite sturdy those plants.

Hi David Artigliere , yep, in Tempe, it's once in a decade event ... But on a spring day in PA, as if the whole winter was not enough. :)
