Wow, Matty!!! I hope everyone turned out ok there. And that's hail???  At first I thought it looked like you'd had several inches of snow.

In real life, I don't think I've ever even seen enough hail to hide the grass. |

Hail!!! Sure looks like snow! A long - lasting hailstorm lasting 45 minutes! That must be a record for NZ?
