Last night at 3 am, I heard what sounded like gravel being poured onto the roof, as I had heard so many times before here in Botswana when it rains, but this time it was a little different... The longer I listened the harder it got, and it began to actually sound like rocks, I got up at about 3:15 to look out the window. I couldn't believe it, it was hailing! I haven't seen snow for a year and a half, and this was the closest thing that Botswana will ever get to snow! It was quite a neat experience and a bit refreshing to one who's missing snow.
