Hail

We just had a massive hail storm. The world went dark and then chunks of ice fell from the sky like so much buckshot. The poodles huddled closely around me as I hung out the window trying to get a shot of it bouncing off the roof of our kitchen without getting the camera wet. This was the best I could do. Ten minutes later, the sun came out and the sky turned blue. The back garden now looks like it's covered in snow.
