2. We always get hail at some point.

Usually it's pea sized and not too much. Now that I've jinxed everything....LOL...we'll get softballs like '87. But seriously, if it hails big, it means there's a big storm and if there's one thing I love more than gardening it's storm chasing (or at least, watching the storms that chase me...I don't actually go out to see them, I tend to attract them). I have tons of pictures of wall clouds and tornado-warned storms (no funnel cloud pictures yet, every time I have seen one, I don't have a camera, d'oh!) I heart storms.
