4/20/2011 5:10 PM At about 5:24 hail got smaller, apx 1/4 inch. At 5:28 larger irregular shaped hail stones began (3/4 inch x 1/3 inch) Some may be 1 inch long. Collected and preserved samples at 5:35 PM. Hail and rain tapered off at 5:38 PM. Biggest ones were about 0.5 inches in diameter. Examination of a photograph of the hail that began at 5:10 PM showed that disc shaped stone was 1.25 inches in diameter. It had a white ice core, surrounded by a circular band of clear ice, followed by an outer band of white ice. A jpeg photo (14 stones) is available upon request.
