5/22/2011 3:30 PM This is my very first CoCoRaHS entry! It was very exciting to have HAIL on my first day. It was a fairly large storm that passed through here. Unfortunately, I was just going to put up my rain gauge when it started hailing! Needless to say, I didn't get a rain gauge reading! 3/8" 1/4" Pea Size Rice Clear Ice|White Ice 5 1min minor leaf damage Continuous True Same time as rain Same time as smaller hail 10-20
8/9/2011 4:54 AM TV went out for a few minutes when the hail started. I went out onto the patio and grabbed three hailstones and put them in a ziploc bag in the freezer. What do I do with them? 3/8" 3/8" Rice Hard|Clear Ice|White Ice 3 1min no damage Continuous False After rain Same time as smaller hail
