I have never heard of this before: We are expected to get 3-5" of "ice pellets" tomorrow. Is that what they're calling hail now? -- nm - CQ Jan 21, 11:03 14
- No, it's different. Little chunks of ice about a quarter of a tic tac that fall like snow. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 11:07
- that's an ice storm. That's the stuff that brings down tree limbs etc (and takes out power lines). -- nm - Andie Jan 21, 11:07 3
  - No, that's freezing rain. -- nm - Ender Jan 21, 11:09 2
    - that can do it too, but here are pics from Toronto two years ago - this wasn't freezing rain that fell. -- (link) - Andie Jan 21, 11:10 1
      - If it was solid when it fell, like sleet, it would have just bounced off the trees and landed on the ground. -- nm - Ender Jan 21, 11:15
- aka Sleet -- (link) - JD Jan 21, 11:07
- That would be sleet, not hail. -- nm - Ender Jan 21, 11:06
- You'll wish for hail. It's a sleet/freezing rain mixture and you ain't going nowhere until it melts. - spamlet Jan 21, 11:05
- Not sure if that is technical term, but when I hear that, I think frozen rain. It falls slowly and doesn't damage anything. -- nm - GregW Jan 21, 11:05
- Wikipedia says they're smaller than hailstones. -- nm - mara Jan 21, 11:04 1
  - better than ice missiles, I guess -- nm - CQ Jan 21, 11:06
- freezing rain aka you all be fucked. -- nm - Beaker Jan 21, 11:04 1

- Sure. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 21, 11:03

- Yes -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 21, 11:01
So, this year, I wanted to track how much money HSX you could make from starbond adjust to adjust. - Will Hunting Jan 21, 11:00 2

Read some comments on that Philly page (so shoot me). Do homeowners really have to pay for street and water line repairs? -- nm - GregW Jan 21, 10:41 3
- You own the pipe from your house to the street line (here its to/from the meter) and you own the curb, we don't have to pay for street repair -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 21, 10:53
- which, what now ? -- nm - decline Jan 21, 10:48 1
  - According to comments on the facebook page, you have to pay for any repairs, even out into the street in front of your house. - GregW Jan 21, 11:04

    - you are right, it is people telling people that they are wrong. -- nm - groiny Jan 21, 10:41 13
      - [deleted] 12
        
        Your opinion is WRONG, groiny! -- nm - Strongbad Jan 21, 10:46 6
