Without golfballs hail would be mearured in the following sequence:
Dime, penny, nickel, quarter, golden dollar, half dollar, silver dollar. Halfdollar would replace the golfball size.
It could also be mearured as :
Raisen, testicle, grape, swollen testicle, and plum. Although probably best to wait for the 10pm news before the weatherman said there is swollentesticle sized hail.
Now that I think about it, the anatomical references are endless.
Ummm… “Just slightly larger than a ping-pong ball” sized hail?
The reference to swollen testicle sized hail just sounds too painful!
