My First Hail Storm

It was so earie sitting on the balcony and watching the front move across the street with this weird orange haze on the horizon. The wind picked up and the rain started. Then it started hailing for a good ten minutes. I was telling R to get away from the windows, but he was more enthralled by the hail and what potential damage it was doing to his truck than me. I was cowering in the laundry closet with Brier. He even knew it was bad. We live up on third floor (top) in apartment complex so it was directly above us and loud. The awesome part was smelling pine afterwards. R called me outside to not only see the steam coming off the pavement but to smell the pine. Now I think snow is better because it falls softly but snow also accumulates quicker. Better hail for ten minutes than snow for ten hours.
