My Wost Fear
HAIL!
You can't see it in the picture too well but trust me, it's there. Pea-size daggers from the skies. Sun is shining and it's downpouring ice.

i've had my car for about 3 weeks now and we've had 3 hail-producing storms with some tornados come through here in that time. it hailed at my apartment complex 2 or 3 days after i got the car, but i got lucky because i had my car at school in the parking garage.

I've got an emergency plan for where i am, If i spot hail i mapped out the closest car ports to park my car under haha.
Also have a thick canvas to throw on top of my other car that isn't insured right now -.-
Either way yeah hail sucks! Glad to see it only stayed pea-sized.

Pea size won't inflict an ounce of damage. When you get into 3/4"+ hail, then it's time to start worrying. I live in Kansas City where hail is common place. We typically see 5 to 10 hail storms a year, usually with 1/2"+ hail, many times with 1" to 2" in localized areas. We had storms two days ago that brought 3" to some areas. Get hit with hail that big and birds start dropping out of the sky and your car windows will look like they were hit with multiple shotgun blasts.

i know how ya feel... i live in tornado alley and we get all kinds of hail. Saving up some money for a carport. But for now i got to rely on thick blankets and a car cover for now. So far it's been working good, the only bad thing is you gotta check the forecast everyday.

unless the weather changes as it goes over PA and reaches you, the weather has not represented the true season. all it ever fucking does anymore round here is rain, day in and day out. i forget what the friken sun looks like....
although, when it was hailing here, the sun was out...storm on one side, beautiful on the other...
