I was just a bit bummed that this skirted just to the NE of me (we did get a smattering of hail within our brief downpour) but for everyone in southern Solano County, it was something I doubt most locals had ever really seen before.

Fun stuff is that the hail/sleet/now slushy mix actually stuck around overnight, allowing locals to awake to a coating of white outside this morning. And this was one week prior to temperatures hitting around 80-degree mark around most of this area
