Weather

We had the most amazing weather at lunch time today. It started raining but the rain soon turned into hail which covered the ground making it look like snow again. The school kids were making "ice balls" and throwing them at each other! This is a corner of my garden around 4pm
A closer view
The temperature dropped from 12°C to 4
°C in 30 minutes! Wellington also had 200 lightening strikes and the accompanying thunder in that time. The photos above were taken after 4pm so still a fair bit of hail around
