It was just after school on Wednesday afternoon and I heard shrieks of laughter coming from the backyard. I quickly looked to see what was going on and saw a downpour of hail like I'd never seen. I mean, I've seen some serious hail falling WITH rain -- but this seems to be falling LIKE rain. In fact, the background of the picture looks blurry because of how much hail is falling! As you can see, cups were used to gather up as many of the "ice pellets" as they could. Lots of fun! And the result?......

Cups filled with ice... hey, just right for a Pepsi slushee don't you think? That came next. Weather in southern Manitoba -- you just never know what's coming next.
