NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 25 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.5 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 56 separate reports between them, two or three on a typical one. 4 of those 17 years produced none at all. The busiest single year was 2011, with 4 hail days. The last five years have been quieter than the long run: 4 days since 2022, against 1.8 a year before that.
Most hail here stays under 2 inches: only 2 of the 25 days on record passed it, 8%, the last on 2025-04-10. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in April, not March. More than half of every hail day on record here -- 13 of 25 -- reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.

How to read the Marshall County map
The colored swath is NOAA's MRMS radar estimate of the largest hail per ~1 km cell; the dots are SPC ground reports. Deep violet is about an inch, the violet grows lighter as the hail grows, and pale lilac to near-white is 2″ and up (hail size vs roof damage). On this county's worst day the reports reached 2.25 inches, which is the pale lilac band. Look up a street address with the hail history by address tool.
