A hail storm in the Arizona desert? Sounds freaky. Is that common this time of year?

95 degrees and there i stood thinking, oohhhh___snow.

We almost always have hail, before snow.

I have seen it in Texas in the summer.

But not that often here in the summer.

Kingman, 15 miles away had golf ball sized hail a week or two ago.

As Grandpa Ira was prone to say 35 years ago "every ____ time they shoot off a space ship, the weather goes wacky".

I thought it was just an old man talking, but guess what,
LOL, I think the same way today.

I assume that punching through the atmosphere might have some bearing.

Or maybe God was making ice for his Ice cream freezer and had a little left over and made a gift of it to the hot desert........

It did cool down a little.

I no longer garden, so didn't loose any plants.

But a half inch of ice does sparkle real pretty.
