      It’s almost as though one end of it is really far south in the Mediterranean and the other end is really far up in the Alps

    Oh man, that’s some serious shit. In Italy, those gnarled clumps of hail are referred to as Il testicolo congelato di Satana which, translated to English means Satan’s Frozen Testicle.

    Mama mia.

    I thought it was odd getting hail where I’m at in July, but I’m glad it wasn’t that big.
