Hail

Today was quite the day weather-wise. I woke up and it was cloudy. After a couple of hours, the sun came out and it warmed up. By late afternoon the dark clouds were starting to roll in. At about 5:30, the sky opened up and the rain came in buckets. At 6:00 hail the size of golf balls was coming down. This stuff hurts pretty bad if it hits you and often does damage to houses and car windshields. I think you can get hail insurance in this part of the world. By 9:00, the sun was out.

Typical Calgary weather on a typical summer’s day.
