Sunday, March 20 - spring and hail

I was at a meeting in Crystal Lake on Sunday afternoon, and we had three episodes of hail. It was hard to walk when I got outside - as you can see, there was a LOT of hail.

I saw my first crocuses of the year...beaten down by the hail. That would probably have been a better photo, but this is what I got.

When I got home, the weather was just fine - we'd had rain before I left but it had cleared up. What a difference 30 miles can make.
