marked8 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 About a half an hour ago I was coming back from Sears and we started to get hail stones, not sleet. After a few minutes of these dime sized hail stones, we started to get sleet. We had enough sleet to coat the ground and streets, but it has now gone back to plain old rain. The hail stones reminded me of a storm last May that damaged my wife's car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
