March 25th, 2008: lots and lots of hail!

This may look like snow, but it's not - it's actually hail. This picture is from my bike ride in to work this morning - it was a bit slippery! For the past few weeks the weather patterns have been sort of strange. There seems to be lots of small clouds passing over the island. It will be sunny (or sort of sunny) for a few minutes and then an intense but relatively short storm will occur. For the last week and a half, I have been caught in a hail storm on nearly every bike ride to or from work. I have to say that I'm not a big fan of hail when biking - it's really painful!


Yesterday was a strange day. It seemed like it was doing something different outside every 15 minutes or so. It snowed for a few minutes.


The daffodils are now in bloom! I took this picture last week. Now, they are covered in ice from the hail...
