| IT USED TO BE a regular occurrence where we lived 3 years ago, in volatile-weathered Colorado, but this is the first time we've been through a genuine hail storm since moving to Los Angeles. Almost didn't recognize the pling pling pling of pea-size ice hitting roofs and hoods at 11:15 p.m. tonight. The drop lasted maybe 10 minutes, but it was enough to make many Atwater Villagers peer outside to see what was the clatter. UPDATE: Welcome, Defamer readers! |
It certainly surprised me. I stood at the window and watched the street turn white. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteoh thaaaat's what that was... I thought it was just noisy rain. Too bad I missed the show! I did see hail about a year ago in Glendale, though, not the first time I've seen it here.
ReplyDeleteI got caught in riding home from Silver Lake on my scooter. Pretty scary (and kinda painful) getting pelted with ice pellets. What the hail?!
ReplyDeleteI thought perhaps it was hailing gunfire!!!
ReplyDelete...ok no I didn't.
We saved a few pellets and they're larger than pea-sized. They look kinda like pearls. So perty.
ReplyDeleteAs my husband noted, "Rocks were falling from the sky."
When I was growing up there in the 80s, hail was not uncommon. If it snowed, that would truly make some news.
