Hail in May

Who would expect, or even believe, that we would have "Hail in May" . . .  in the desert, of all places.

But as we were returning to Roswell from visiting a neighboring town in the mountains, Ruidoso, New Mexico, we ran into a serious hailstorm in the desert. The highway was nearly covered with hailstones about one-half inch in diameter. We pulled off the road for a closer look and discovered the "Hail in May" was at least a couple inches deep here in the desert..
