Today is August 12th and according to weather.com it's 76 degrees in Los Angeles, California and 81 degrees in southern Maryland right now. I am pleased to report that right now in London, England it is 62 degrees Fahrenheit -- and HAILING.
This photo may look like a blurry mess but it's the best I could do with my limited resources to capture the fact that there's a HAIL STORM outside my deck doors right now. A hail storm can look pretty cool -- and yeah, it can sometimes be destructive -- but when it happens in the dead of summer at the end of a sunny day it's just plain awesome.
London has the most interesting August weather I've ever experienced. It's a welcome break from the oppressive heat and humidity of American summers. And that's why this shot of today's hail storm is my Pic Of The Week.
