A freak hailstorm just dumped up to five feet of ice on Guadalajara, Mexico.

W... T... F...
 
Temps had been running in the high 80's prior.


Just bizarre.

That doesn’t surprise me. Severe storms that involve lightning and thunder, hail and tornadoes often involve sudden and dramatic temperature drops immediately before the storm hits.

What kinda joke is that? No snow down the street or on the cars? :lol:

It's like 80 degrees there.

Any ice on the cars and even on the ground has already started melting, but 5 feet takes awhile to do so.
 
I saw that.

As crazy as it is impressive. I'd be pissed. That'd kill my entire garden.
 
Trump!!!!

Yes, no doubt most of us have experienced sudden hail/thunder storms that dump a few inches of hail out of a formerly warm summer sky.

But five feet of ice? Sure, it's piled up, it's not that much everywhere, but still.
 
Hail accumulated via flash flooding. You can tell by the way cars are jacked up. Hail dumping straight down doesn't cause cars to rear up like that. Flooding does.

Dude, there isn't ANY snow in the background or on the roof of the car or the roof of that building... any building... but it is a few feet thick just right there... Hollywood.

I should have made it more clear, that I was referring to that I was referring to the sudden temperature drop during a hailstorm and some “accumulation” of hail. I agree that the amount of hail dumped in this particular storm was extraordinary, to say the least.
 
that is awesome nothing more about it just that is awesome

Ever golf in the Caribbean?

You can be sweating on one side of the fairway, while your partner is getting drenched on the other side of the fairway.
 
In the heat and humidity we're havin', I'd welcome some ice...:2razz:

That is how it is here... but the clouds MOVE... meaning that the snow would not dump in just one area.
