Interesting, naturally.

Morning sun. Not glorious warm light, but a cooler dull sun. Gray clouds yonder. Gray clouds here. Rap. Tap. Tap. Rain against the window. No, wait. Snow? Rain falling like snow? Looks like snow. Swirling now straightening... hail. Hail like the coarse rock salt for making ice cream. More hail. Falling harder. Collecting. Collecting quickly. Everything covered in a layer of white. Hail falling in driving torrents. Traffic on the highway slowing. Children outside. Attempting snowballs out of hail. Throwing child-size fistfulls at each other. Neighbors at their windows. Lady across the street taking cell phone camera pictures of her car. Torrents slowing. Hail falling, but thinnest layers on pavement darkening as though to melt. Raining again. No...snowing. White piles of hail still thick on roofs, cars, grass. Sky dullish white but with bright light. Still snowing, but lightly. Large flakes. Still snowing.
