All hail hail!

So this is my backyard right now:





Cool, no?  It almost looks like it snowed.

Wow, hail. We've been dealing with thunderstorms up here. As someone who hates thunderstorms, I might take your hail. Though it's really the loud noise that bothers me, so perhaps it would not be any better. The Scotties are not fond of them either. Shilling was curled up between my parents in their bed, the other night, just like a sick child sometimes does when they go to their parents' room. Puzzle just looks affronted that anyone would dare to thunderstorm when she is trying to rest.

Oh poor doggies! You probably don't want this weather though. The hail stopped and it was fine weather for about an hour and then massive thunderstorms (with tornado warnings) swept though.

My cat didn't emerge from under the bed for hours

Eww, doesn't sound like weather I'd be pleased about. I have a total irrational fear of thunderstorms. Thankfully, we very rarely have extreme weather where I am. I couldn't imagine dodging tornadoes or something like that. But I suppose it's all what you're used to. My friend on the internet was like 'oh, brb, tornado sirens' and I was all 'why are you not more upset about this?'. And it turns around where some cities in the States just completely shut down at the first sign of snow and I'm always like 'dude, it's just snow. In Canada, we call this "Tuesday"'.

In any case, I wish you and your cat sunny days. :-)

lol- MN is the same way about snow- I think maybe once a decade things close due to snow and usually only if it's white out blizzard conditions.

In the twin cities themselves it's rare for tornadoes to do anything, we get warnings every so often though. We pretty much ignore them
