HAIL HAIL HAIL - and it's getting bigger.
Our third day of hail this week.
Calves cowered, cats howled and cows charged through the odd fence seeking refuge.
One pampered sheep safely contained in the outside shower and one new roof put to serious test.
Inside the noise grew louder as the hail grew larger, gathering in piles on the lawn.
We seemed to be spared the worst but looking at our neighbor's place looked a white wonder from a distance.
This is not winter in the US, it's spring in the Northern Rivers.On closer inspection, the mist from the ice gave it a wintery atmosphere.
It's only about two kilometres in distance, but the difference was obvious from the piles of hail washed into a nearby crossing.
The hail was in a narrow band. Cows and calves were standing a little stunned in their new white wonderland.
Just over the rise you can see the heavy hail ends.
It is obvious from the highly accurate toe-nail test that the hail is getting bigger.
Looking forward to the amazing pasture boost this will provide now.
