    none today though.

    The only time it stopped raining here today was when it hailed ⛈

    I just stepped outside to get something and the paths are decidedly crunchy underfoot. I'm not quite sure what precipitation it was but it wasn't what we need in May.

    We’ve had hail tonight as well. 
    I remember 1975 was like this, my aunt came over from Australia for a holiday as her summer was over, she was freezing the whole time she was here.

    And they're not even in the group of countries involved in the conference. I'm not sure we have the best and brightest running the world anymore... :|

    aaaah, that explains why they're not paying for their own hotels for quarantine as well then I suppose...
