Rain and hail.

April 20. 

P. M. – Rain-storm begins, with hail.

H. D. Thoreau, Journal, April 20, 1858

See April 17, 1856 (“I heard a thousand hailstones strike and bounce on the roof at once. . . a skirmish between the cool rear-guard of winter and the warm and earnest vanguard of summer.”); April 22, 1856 (“These rain-storms -- this is the third day of one -- characterize 'the season, and belong rather to winter than to summer.”)
