Thought I had enough time to walk to the grocery store cause the radar didn't show much of anything. Boy was I wrong, halfway home got absolutely dumped on and got soaked right through. Thankfully the hail was very small. When I got back inside with some fresh clothes on, checked the radar again and I guess it kind of just started right over the city suddenly.

There are a few banks along the Bow River that are looking like they are getting pretty close to overflowing. The 10th Street underpass might spill onto the pathway tomorrow if it keeps raining.

I got a real nice free car wash yesterday. Thank goodness the hail was pea size.

Finally get that rain to wash the bird #### off my car from a week ago... and this morning I notice the birds have topped it up 3x! ####ers!
I sure hope the rain in the next few days is enough to get rid of it all.
Or the water restrictions ease so I can power wash it off and try out my power washer drain cleaning attachment.

You could just go to an actual car wash.

I think it's good luck to have a bird crap on your car. Maybe nature is trying to tell you something.

If that heat actually shows up I imagine we will be getting a good amount of thunderstorms too.

If you leave it on there long enough bird #### will eat through the paint so rust can start.

I could, but then my car is going to quickly get covered in bird #### again at worst case scenario or quickly covered in a thick yellow film of pollen.
I already have the power washer and I really want the restrictions to lift so I can test out the rain gutter cleaning attachment.

Luckily it's either on the 3M, plastic piece or windshield, so not worried about that. But still. Eww.

I was driving a bit like a maniac trying to get home into my garage before getting any damage. Thought I might have some dents with how loud some of the impacts were, but I think I got lucky

Haven’t seen them this large in a while. The sound they were making smacking the skylight had me concerned. About marble-sized at times.

I don't miss the hail, but I could go for a decent thunderstorm right now.
