Cool! Is that Hail or Sleet? Cant tell. If sleet that's more interesting and it does look like it. Sounds like the rain cooled part of the column to refreeze into pellets. I'd like to see a sounding from there to see the temp in the layers above you.
Hail first, then turning to pure snow, and finally sleet as the top layer, lol.
Weather has been amazingly dry and seasonably warm (60s,70s) past 2 weeks. Only 1/4" of rain. Still too early to put anything out there EVEN IF there is no frost threat. Plants don't like 40s!

About 60 Tomatoes. All looking very healthy and strong. I have not fed them. The Potting soil in the transfer to the cups has enough food they need as a seedling.
By the time they deplete those nutrients it will be time to go into the Earth.
Florescent lights on 12hrs a day and a fan on them 10-20 minutes a day.
Close up.
Hot Peppers looking good too
More Hot Peppers
More Hot Peppers. Notice how much better looking the ones in the cups are. They were started 2 weeks later then these. I will put these in cups today.
Collards and Bell Peppers.
Cauliflower, Eggplant and Bell peppers. The Eggplant has been my challenge for years. Looks great now but for some reason hates the soil outside.
Here the view is decisively spring-like instead. Practically all the trees had some trees on already a couple of weeks ago, and now even the area of the broad-leaved trees on the mountains (so till an altitude of more or less 1500 m) is turning to light green.
Those are some photos I took yesterday in Turin. It was cloudy, according to the forecasts it should have rained but it didn't, and the temperature was just below 20°C. I was in there with my sister for doing a walk under the arcades, but I also managed to take a couple of photos in a little city park and a photo of the sky.
As you can see Turin is already really green.
^It looks like they are planning to start a little vegetable garden in that park. There were plants of mint, strawberries, rosemary and other aromatic plants.
^that's a really strange stuff. In practice yesterday was the "book day", so in the city there were a lot of activity intended for making the people read more. In this case they put some boxes hanging up from the trees, each one with a book inside. Everyone could take the books for reading them. When I arrived practically all the boxes were already empty...
^ this is the sky over "Via Garibaldi", in the very center of Turin.
These instead are a couple of photos I took some minutes ago from my house. Today the weather is completely different from yesterday, it is windy and colder (last temperature recorded 13.7°C, now it is 12:30)
In both photos a lot of green spots are present, even at altitudes of 1000-1500 m.
bike ride yesterday. Morning started out warm (high 50s), since the day before was in the high 70s with high humidity. Clouds from the rain yesterday hadn't cleared
Leaves just coming in, but the hills in the background look more bare than leafed.
A bit ahead of Spring 2014. This was May 4:
Spoiler
Waterfall!
downstream
grass is green at least
Spoiler
old mill building turned into coffee shop and bookstore
Don't see much logging around here, thought it was mostly limited to more remote areas of Vermont and New Hampshire. Not quite a clear-cut
Canal has a nice bike path. Unfortunately, more than half of it is closed for power line reconstruction. Went a longer route so I could ride all of it. Oh well...
Spoiler
Turner Falls. Basic Necessities
Used to be an A/V store, but the owner switched because there's not much business left in A/V. Street trees are green and skies cleared. North wind much of the day
Old mill town has some rowhouses
and factories. They look like they're still used for something
Even windier at the hilltop (about 1350 feet). Dewpoints had really dropped, felt chilly in the shade at times
Friday morning:

Nice ride. I need to get me a bike. How far was this spot from where you live? Judging by the powerlines looks like it's an isolated location? Or maybe just a spot off the main road.
Nice. New Rochelle looks ever so slightly ahead of here, which makes sense considering it's right at the Bronx's doorstep. The trees look like a different species though.
And that's a Sago Palm (or a close relative), which isn't a palm, it's an ancient cycad. It looks like it's on the verge of flushing out a new set of leaves which normally occurs annually or biannually. I have a smaller one, but it's outdoors, so it's nowhere near flushing yet, needs some real warmth.

What kind of hot peppers do you grow?
