Geeks Experience Thermal Shock

The geeks underwent an unplanned and abrupt thermal shock as a freak hail storm hit during the regular meeting on October 5, 2010. With the geeks temporarily trapped inside Barro's by the raging tempest, the temperature outdoors dropped from normal October levels to a brisk 63 degrees F as registered by the thermometer in Russ G's truck immediately after the furor subsided. Most of the hail in the vicinity was around a half inch in diameter, although a few bigger stones fell as well.

The geeks observed drifts of hail and rare ground fog in the violent storm's aftermath.
