Last time I saw hail was in my senior year at ND.
Is the gang all there?
What the heck do you care?
Hail needs a very high cloud to form, it usually occurs during thunderstorms.
I’ve been in maybe 12 hail storms.
Forms in thunderstorms and it’s formation is completely different than sleet, which is a winter weather type of precipitation. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever experienced hail without thunder. I have, however, experienced, thunder sleet in State College, PA during an elevated thunderstorm in March, the surface temperature was cold enough for the rain to freeze into sleet. That was a very rare meteorological event. With all that said, in Annapolis I’m sure you have experienced more than 12 sleet storms.
remember one.
This was definitely hail.
Hail I’ve only experienced with thunderstorms
