In the time it took me to carry it back out to the stand, another 0.01" had collected, and 0.02" had registered on the electronic gauge since Midnight. I'm guessing that about 0.03" of rain fell while I was in the house measuring the daily rainfall. Sorry about that.

I watched as tree limbs broke and brought down power lines a long Jackson Street between University Avenue, and Mt.

5/8/2012 11:20 AM I was driving eastbound on I-94 this morning between Snelling Avenue and Dale Street when I encountered the hail. Actually I debated whether it was really hail or sleet? Most of it looked exactly like Sleet (small white round pellets about 1/8" in diameter). Some of the pellets looked like tiny hail stones, but most looked like sleet. It was a very small amount mixed in with the rain on my windshield, with the heaviest concentration around I-94 and Lexington Avenue, in St. Paul. I was traveling 55 MPH, so I can't give you any time or duration information. Rice Rice NA Mixed|White Ice no damage Intermittent True After rain vertical

6/14/2012 12:22 PM When I arrived at 4th Street and Chicago Avenue, in Minneapolis, I encountered more hail. It was quite large and not round. It looked like three or four grape-sized hail stones fused together in "L" shapes, or rods. Some of the larger stones were more than an inch in length, but probably only about 3/8" wide. Most of the hail stones were clear, and you could plainly see where the smaller stones were frozen together to form the larger "chain" hailstone. The hail didn't last very long. By the time my bus reached 4th Street and Portland Ave, the hail stopped. 1" Quarter Size 3/8" 1/4" Pea Size Hard|Clear Ice|White Ice 2min no damage Intermittent False vertical
