Yes, the small ricocheting pellets are hailstones. Exposure was 1/250
second at f/2.8, ISO 800.
Haven't seen any golf-ball sized hail, ever. You'd think from all the
reports it would be fairly common.

I assume that the rounded little things are the ricocheting hail after it
pummels the surface. What was your shutter speed? I suppose that we could
then calculate the velocity of those hail stones (good PHYS 101 question).
Everyong always reports "golf-ball" sized hail. I've never seen anything
bigger than green-pea-sized hail. If you get any golf-ball sized hail,
photograph it for me. ;-)

Intense concentration usually gets the job done, to the exclusion of
everything else. But there was this tapping one morning... it sounded
like crows stomping on the roof!
When it became a blast of machine guns, I grabbed the camera and went
outside to see:
