Question

What is a hailstorm?

Answer 1

A hailstorm occurs when you have a cold air mass, high in the atmosphere, meets a warn, moist air mass or front. The warm air will cool rapidly and lose its water in the form of rain. If the cold air is cold enough or high enough in the atmosphere that rain will freeze and fall to the ground as ice. This is hail, and comes in all sizes, from very small, to marble size, dime size, quarter size, golf ball, tennis ball, baseball and rarely, softball size. Hail will usually come with a thunder storm, or even a tornado, since the same atmospheric conditions can cause all of these things. The damage it causes depends on the crops it falls on and the time it falls as well as the amount and size of the hail. If a hailstorm with good sized hail falls while wheat is almost ready for harvest, you can loose the whole crop. I've seen green corn with all the leaves riped off or torn to shreds with only the stalks standing. So a hail storm can be devastating to a farmer, but it is usually not that bad and causes partial damage. It is just part of the gamble of farming.
You can see hailstorm used often in the figurative sense in a lot of the business world when they see hard times coming. Or if I see where my ex is coming to town, I might be heard saying "Here comes a hailstorm!" and it won't be an actual hailstorm at all.
