what’s this??

Tuesday, February 22, 2005

So, Josh and I come home from seeing Constantine, and notice this white stuff in the rocks in our front yard.  Hmm.

We open the door to the back yard to check the pool, knowing it had rained pretty hard while we were gone.  And we see this:

It looks suspiciously like snow, but it’s a close relative.  Hail!  About pea size, and quite a bit of it, from the looks.  It hailed back in December (or maybe it was January?), which we were able to witness, but we missed it this time, except for its aftermath.

And if anyone from the east or midwest reads this post and thinks I’m a bit odd for posting a picture of hail in our backyard, remember that I live in Phoenix, where about 70% of the year we’re sitting under a blistering sun.  So this kind of stuff (particularly the large amount of rain we’ve gotten this year) is out of the ordinary for us.  Besides, this is about the closest thing to snow that we’ll ever see here.  At least the type that sticks around for longer than five minutes!
