1/1/0001 12:00 AM Not Present to observe Time was about 7:00 PM from a friend (If it did more than rain on this pad, it wasn't much. I see one pock mark that could be from hail or a bird and another that might be hail, but is inconclusive. PG) NA NA NA no damage False 2
6/16/2011 2:50 PM Small Hail at 2:50 PM then rain sprinkles then hail began again at 3:10 PM - 1st hail was all soft and small 1/8" - 2nd hail had the larger and smaller hail. 5/8" 1/4" Pea Size Rice Hard|White Ice 3 2min no damage Intermittent True Same time as rain After smaller hail 34

7/20/2011 9:20 PM Looking at this hail pad, there are some very subtle dents, but I'm not sure if it fell as rain or very soft hail. At any rate, it's very hard to count any sort of dents on this pad because they are just so subtle. P.G. Rice Rice Rice Soft 10min False 0
