Our life @ Birmigham UK

Snow and Hail

It is very cold in Britain these days, also in B'ham.



Waking up yesterday, I had this view in front of me. I went out to see what was it.









It was hail. There were these small ice cubes all over!


Matter of fact, big noise woke me up early in the morning, even though I did not actually got up.

Today, I went with three friends to Cotswolds. Did we enjoy? Yeh, I think so, but as much as snow, rain and hail permitted.

Where is spring!?

British lawn is always green (but I can tell you in a very low voice that some of the green in our garden is actually moss, rather than lawn).

Hail is something new also to me. We have it very rarely in Japan, while it is common here in UK.

Its' nice to be experiencing something new :smile:

( out of topic.. )

Hi Aida (again),

A New Zealander colleage of mine says that in New Zealand, a "flake" of hail can be as large as a baseball and sometimes people gets hurt!


About avatar. You are still flog, but mine returned from tiger to cat. How come?

Hi Aida (again),..


:lol:

Hi Kayoko,

In New Zealand it can be a baseball size? :eyes: I'm imagining the damages it could cost.. and yea, hurting people too. Hmm.. but is it hard too? Or it breaks on impact/contact?

OPERA released the cute animal avatars on 1st April just for fun I guess. After that we all turned back to our normal selves :lol: I got my froggy back because AleksOD saved them all.

My New Zealander colleague says that sometimes cars and people get hurt but hail "frakes", so I would guess they are not particularly soft. On the other hand, I have never heard anyone KILLED by hail, so should not be as hard as ice. :wink:

Hi Kayoko,

So at least it's not until the point that it could kill :D

tabatakayoko 11. May 2008, 11:09

Well, who knows? There always are specially un-lucky ones :D

Ahhh.. bad. But yea.. that's true.
