Brief ride yesterday and Poured sweat, (sharing: now that's disturbing)
A scarf? Really? Ride out later while Sun's up???
Sure, hail can be in many storms in the summer. Weatherman freq gives hail warnings for approaching storms - fortunately doesn't always materialize.you you wrote:WhiteNoise wrote:^ that! sounds more like it! July hail![]()

Is July hail normal? I've never seen it across here before. Or at least haven't noticed it.

Storms brew, systems collide, white ice falls. Yes, hail in July and at other strange times, as fish said.
Flashback: In my thirties I was helping a neighbor install 6' stockade fencing. We were augging post holes when it got dark. The sky grew weird then golf balls fell. They hurt. Mike's Chevy Malibu was parked out front with all it's windows open![]()
We dropped the auger and ran to the front. Haha! There was no weaving through that shower! Hail was bouncing off us and everywhere else. Like ping pong balls! We hopped inside the car, rolled up windows, sat back watched and listened. Nature, truly Amazing. Dang! snow(balls) in "July!"
Don't see it often in NY, but in Florida? Whoa.....
People run into trouble when they get some hail damage (not enough for the car to be a write-off by the insurance company) and try to make it look worse by taking a ball-peen hammer to make it look like more damage in the hopes of getting a 100% write-off. Typically they put little dents over the whole car. The insurance company finds out if the car was parked (which it typically is) and then catch the person lying because it is generally only two sides of the car (as well as the top) that get damaged, according to the prevailing winds.you you wrote:I've seen pictures of hail damage in The USA on the car forums. It does some damage.
