Much of Minnesota hasn't seen much severe weather so far this year, but that wasn't the case for one lake which saw hail the size of baseballs fall Wednesday.

Mother Nature was not in a very good mood Wednesday across parts of northern Minnesota. So much so that she decided a little hail would be a good thing to include along with heavy rains and strong winds that pummeled parts of the Land of 10,000 Lakes and northwestern Wisconsin, as well.

And this wasn't just your average-size hail, mind you. Usually, if it does hail here in the North Star State, it's hail that's pea-size or marble-size, right? Sometimes hail is bigger, like quarter-size or larger; see the National Weather Service Hail Comparison Chart below for all the official sizes.
