(Updated) Hailstorm = A Storm from the Hell

案發現場 19/05/2005:
5:35pm
雷聲轟天,烏雲壓頂,寒風襲骨
5:45pm
冰石墜落,風強雨勁,顔如末日
8:00pm
風輕雨停,流水緩緩,一片狼籍
10:00pm
簷破水穿,冰石猶在,唯恐還來
話說昨晚與友人在學校附近用餐時天色陰暗
我們還在那嘻笑的說著昆士蘭缺水嚴重下下雨也好
哪知話才剛說完在附近打起幾聲響雷
看來雨會不小...哎呀...不要一下下到水災呀
怕冷的我一下就感到溫度的驟降和天氣的怪異
隨後沒多久
布里斯班就下起冰雹
那些冰雹是那種小小一顆顆比珍珠奶茶的顆粒在小一些
那時我還跟有人說:第一次在這看到冰雹,對吧?
這算是小兒科的大小
可是我卻忽略了量大於質得道理
等我10點後和我那位步行回家時
看到家門口的奇景才發現今晚的冰雹不同小可
我們甚至看到有西方人穿著滑雪裝帶者滑雪用具在那玩冰雹
因為那時小小的冰雹早就結成一片片的天然溜冰場
以下的照片就是在我家樓下拍到的







今早,在看早晨新聞時才發現
這場冰雹用freak來形容
原因是昆士蘭的氣象站還沒來的及發布緊報
這場冰雹就下下來了

註:冰雹是在對流雲中形成,
當水汽隨氣流上升遇冷會凝結成小水滴,
若隨著高度增加溫度繼續降低,
達到攝氏零度以下時,
水滴就凝結成冰粒,
在它上升運動過程中,
並會吸附其周圍小冰粒或水滴而長大,
直到其重量無法為上升氣流所承載時即往下降,
當其降落至較高溫度區時,
其表面會融解成水,
同時亦會吸附周圍之小水滴,
此時若又遇強大之上升氣流再被抬升,
其表面則又凝結成冰,
如此反覆進行如滾雪球般其體積越來越大,
直到它的重量大於空氣之浮力,
即往下降落,
若達地面時未融解成水仍呈固態冰粒者稱為冰雹,
如融解成水就是我們平常所見的雨。

Hey Tammy, I am He He!!

WOW... Hehe
nice to see u here and welcome to my web
the reason why u can't read the pages at home is all my web pages are formed in Unicode(View -> Encoding) which is one of computer language just in case that I need to use other computers don't have multi-language system
If I didn't guess wrong... ur computer can be setted simplified Chinese as default viewing language
Next time, when u open my web at home...double check View -> Encoding which should be in Unicode and press F5/Refresh button
Then it will show up as u wish

If u do face the problem, please tell me

Queensland cold???
I don't really know.
I'm like the summer batter than winter and u can image that I definitely wear much much more during the winter time
But tell u what... my BF still wear summer T-shirt every single day ^o^"
So, is Queensland cold???
Be honest, I can't even tell...
One thing I can tell u is if I go to Sydney now I'll be frozen... ^~^
