We had dime sized hail in Ben Lomond around noon.

I'll never forget MrB riding his Vespa past a bunch of Harley's on GMR First Daze during a hail outburst. I was a prospect and Barrett yelling "Pussies" at hunkered down Harley riders made me very happy to be joining the Vampires.

KGO announced this afternoon that Ben Lomond was the BIG winner of all Bay Area locations for the most rainfall since Sunday, chalking up a whopping 8 1/2 inches.
