It was about 7:35 this morning when I looked out the window for the first time. Misty said, "has it been raining?". "No", I replied, "Not yet". Well, all you had to do was give me enough time to close the blinds and count to five before it hit...and it hit hard.

A hail storm in June in St. Louis. Pea sized hail bombarding U. City. It was an onslaught like I have not seen before.

This picture is of the ground just off our front porch. That pile is snow...OK...sleet piled up. Here it was June 8th in St. Louis and we had accumulation!

Amazing!

To make it all worse, I had left my sunroof "popped open" last night to air out the car as I had gone running in Forest Park earlier and the car had to bear the grunt of my sweaty self on the drive home. What I did not know was that I had forgotten to fully roll up the back window as well.

This pile of sleet is nothing compared to the number of leaves and sleet pellets that I found in my car as I left for work. Some day I will learn to close my sunroof and windows. Maybe that day will be today...and I will keep doing it from here on out...

Now to air out the car...
