Default WR - Large hail

Walked out of Tescos in Dereham, and was greeted by a thunderstorm -
quite surprised as it was sunnyish when I arrived - certainly no sign of
anything large.

As I was driving out of the car park - hail commenced - not too heavy,
but certainly large - somewhere between marble and walnut sized; I was
sure it was going to come through the windscreen!

I was watching it from my kitchen window :-) Got some goodly-sized hail.
Interesting cloud movements - quite fast swirling going on. In Kansas I'd have
been heading for the storm cellar ;-) I do hope the weather gods have fairer
weather planned for my cycle jaunt in the summer!

Cheers.

Not half - it took me ages to get to Swaffham at lunchtime - but no time
at all to get home again

The only thing that keeps me going at 10kph against a gale is knowing it
will be behind me on the way home!
