I'm not keen on big hail.
I can deal with most other weather conditions but I don't have enough garage for all of the cars.
So hail bad!!!

yeah we have two vehicles outside. We got a lot of hail, thankfully it was pretty small and not overly hard balls. I've seen some reports where hail can destroy a shingled roof, and the shingles get pulverized.

I miss the days when I could get to the weather models and see them myself.
But somebody had to go figure out how to monetize it and put it behind a paywall.

They keep throwing in the European forecast model which seems to be a new thing.

On Tuesday, 2-17-26, I was very surprised when rain was pounding on my bedroom slider. Later that evening I was in the office and glanced over at the monitor showing the Lorex camera views and saw streaks. It was snowing. Neither one was forecast that day.

Today is sunny breezy and 30*F.

I like our weather radar maps on the Canadian weather channel , you can see instantaneous weather and where the systems are moving at what time. It is good enough for what I need.

We saw the sun today! I actually got out for a walk at the park across the street. Some of the loop for walking still had mushy ice, so I avoided that area.

The grass is starting to show through the snow, but WAIT! there's more winter on the way. A storm on Sunday into Monday may bring us a little more of the white stuff.
