Not only large hail but densely distributed which I think is rather unusual. Nice to see you here again, Wijke. I had a colleague at work called John Hagel, a name which was of Dutch rather than German origin, so he said. I asked him what it meant and he told me. It seems unusual for someone to be called "hail". On the other hand the surname Snow is well-known in the UK, as are Sleet, Gale, Winter, Winters, Summers and Spring.

Hello Tudor, Yes, "Hagel" is a common name in Holland. We also know surnames as Zomer (=Summer); Winter (Winter); but never saw a Lente (=Spring) passing by. However Herfst (= autumn) does exist as surname. Also Storm (= gale). Sneeuw (=snow) not very common but exists. Nice game this is... finding weather related surnames ![]() Wijke Tc 29.4°C -- heading for a heatwave -; but a comfortable 32% humudity. |

It took about 10 minutes all told. I think the software only applies to RealPlayer. Tudor Hughes, Warlingham, Surrey. |
