Hail in the Desert

Wow! This morning we awoke to a racket on the roof of "The Bus". We looked out the window to see our "front yard" covered with hail.



Who would have expected precipitation in Tucson, Arizona, here in the Sonora Desert? Especially hail! But here is our neighbor's car being pelted by hail.




One of our lawn chairs on the patio collected a few hail stones too . . .




The hail stones were not large, but were certainly unexpected here in the desert.


Daytime temperatures have been in the 80's, but last night a cold front blew through from the northwest and brought some rain, sleet, and hail to the desert. We should be able to "tough it out" though as the 80 degree temperatures are expected to return in a day or two.
