Hill City, sorry Hail City as we called it on several occasions used their snow plows to clear the roads. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

I guess I'm one of the ones that always pulls over during a hailstorm (although few and far between here in Louisiana, they still occasionally appear). My thinking is that a hailstone hitting my windshield at zero MPH, discounting whatever drop velocity is there, is better than my adding anywhere from 40-60 MPH based on my driving speed. The impact would be less, so I go with the "pull over". "Impact" can be taken a couple of different ways, so is that a pun? Phu Bai, Vietnam, 68-69 Baghdad, Iraq, 04-05 | |||

Yup from Rockerville south to Hill City and beyond, this is NOT an uncommon occurrence, even in July. Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club! USN (RET), COTEP #192 | |||

would not care to elaborate |
a nephew of mine was driving along a highway in PA a few years ago and large hail broke out his windshield. I saw the vehicle after that and it looked like it had chicken pox | |||

Living in central New Mexico I saw some pretty horrendous hailstorms. U.S.60 west of Socorro I pulled off into what at the time was the Water Canyon Lodge. At the end of the storm there was probably eight inches of hail on the ground. Between what was falling from the sky as rain and hail and the slippery road surface it wasn’t safe to drive. -------------------------------------—————— ————————--Ignorance is a powerful tool if applied at the right time, even, usually, surpassing knowledge(E.J.Potter, A.K.A.

And! Why do people take shopping carts from the handicapped spots in the parking lots? Just leave four or five out there. The handicappers might need them to get into the store. Or Perhaps the handicappers are bringing merch back and a shopping cart could be required. A lot of partially disabled folks can get by with just a shopping cart and not a scooter. Tink about the next shopper, even if they are not yet there. Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency. Neck Ties, Hats and ammo brass, Never ,ever touch'em w/o asking first | |||

Not really from Vienna |
Speaking of hailstorms, this took place Wednesday 25 miles from Jerkwater, where we were enjoying 97° and a dry wind: | |||
