Freezing Cold

March 25, 2005 – 12:48 am

It was sort of chilly this afternoon, so I went outside for a while. About 30 minutes later, a cold wind picked up. In less than two minutes, the sky darkened as a massive storm cloud formed over head. One small rain drop, two, three… all of a sudden, a total barrage of hail came down. The street was covered in hail pellets. I ducked under a shelter and listened to the hail assault the thin roof. Moments later the hail gave way to a powerful rain. A minute passed, the rain stopped, the hail melted and I went home.
