We nearly had a white Christmas



It was after lunch on Christmas day when the heavens opened and the rain came thundering down.

Then it turned to hail.

The sound was incredible.

Our lawn gained an instant covering of icy sleet.


...and while the hailstones weren't as large here as other parts of the city, they were still pretty big.


There was quite a collection of the hail along our back fence.



When I ventured forth to see what had been happening in the street, I discovered the limitations of the drainage in the area.
