Default Sturgis weather

Had some bad storms in the Black Hills day before yesterday. Hill City had 3.5 inch hail. The picture below is in Custer. Yes that is hail.

Deadwood gets terrible hail. My brother got his fender dented in 2012 in Deadwood from a hail storm. I'm not a weatherman so I don't know why when its 90 degrees you can get hail too, but it happens all over out there.

Gotta love Sturgis weather. We were there for the baseball sized hell in 2010 and a similar storm in 2011 before the rally started. In 2010 there were some beat up motorcycles, cars and trucks. Our hauler still has the dings on the side of it from that storm. 2011 we woke up two mornings of sub 30 degree temps. Have to pack for all kinds of weather when going out there

That's the type of weather we get in Colorado too. Always expect the unexpected...
