Grass looks spring green in the background, contrasts greatly with the snow.

Interesting to note for future reference, even though upper air wasnt overly cold it was the 850mb temps and 2m temperatures that kept the freezing levels down to reasonably low levels.
The fact those hail cannons ill call em kept going all afternoon and evening without very many general rain showers.
Around midnight there was a really heavy hail shower, i was waiting for a clap of thunder.
Warm week ahead and next weekend once we get tonights southerly affair fling out of the way
