Penny needed to go but the patio was flooded an inch deep plus ice, she wasn't stepping off for nothing!

Iced oranges anyone?

My shade cloth on the side of the house got quite a build up, it's still there, over an hour later, still too cold to melt.

Made a mess on the side of the house

Crazy! Still looks like snow on the roof too. (poor brug, always gets hit from frost every year, it always comes back beautifully though)

Heck, Sue! My neighbor told me we had some hail the other day, but I didn't see it. We did have a power outage though. Lows have been around 34 this week, too.

It's currently 45° here, so probably cold tonight. That ice is barely melted, still layer of white everywhere.

No hail but my son said it was really cold last night. For him to say it was cold it must have been bad. I hope all your plants recover quickly CalifSue. I feel for Penny. Liked the photos, especially of the citrus on ice! LOL! Pretty contrast.

That's a lot of hail! Must have been pretty localized though, we've had a little bit of rain up here on and off but no downpours and no hail. I don't blame Penny for not wanting to step off the porch, I wouldn't either if I were her!

Gee, Sue, this must have been pretty localized to your area---I've been in SJ all evening at DS's, and we just got some rain!

Northern California, United States(Zone 9a)

Yeah, it was under just a dark cloud, I called DH at work only 10 minutes away and they didn't have any there, they just got the heavy downpour. I held the phone out the back door so he could hear how incredibly loud it was.
I just went out to check and there's still hail sitting in spots around the yard and in pots.

Remember Joe Bfltspk from the old Lil' Abner cartoon?

Nope, can't say I do.

Your storm yesterday reminded me of him...

From Wikipedia:
Joe Btfsplk: The world's worst jinx, Joe Btfsplk had a perpetually dark rain cloud over his head; instantaneous bad luck befell anyone unfortunate enough to be in his vicinity.

Ah, never followed that comic strip. But I did have to look up the pronunciation of his last name. Also from Wiki: "According to Al Capp, (the cartoonist creator) btfsplk is a rude sound. During public lectures, Capp demonstrated this phatic sound by closing his lips, leaving his tongue sticking out, and then blowing out air, which is colloquially called a raspberry or Bronx cheer."

we once had a car we named after this character...

Whoa Sue...that hail is wild! That's not just a little bit, either. We got some rain here, but I sure didn't see any hail. Thanks for the pics!
