Monday we had quite a lot of hail. It wasn’t very big (BB sized, or a bit larger) but there was a lot of it.
It came in waves on and off for most of the afternoon and evening. There were some very interesting looking clouds. Rather than a big mass cover the sky, there were thick bands of dark clouds bring the hail with big expanses of clear blue sky around them.
Naturally, this meant soccer practice was still on as it wasn’t raining and there was no lightning. Most of Charles’ team showed up in the hail, 45°F air with 15-20 MPH winds, but Corwin’s team had a low turnout. They even ducked indoors near the end of practice when the hail got particularly thick.
But not Charles’ team! They were not Wimp Crew. Like real soccer players, then practiced right on through the hail, the brief rain, and more hail until practice time was over. I made sure to have Charles point this out to Corwin, because I knew he would want to be proud of his brother.
