It's Raining Ice!!!

I experienced my very first hailstorm on 2 December, Tuesday. The pellets of ice which were like the size of a M&M choc landed like marbles on my rooftop. In a split second, the pitter-patter intensified and became deafening. I stood by the windows, taking in the sight and sound of my first experience of a hailstorm. In less than half an hour, the ground was covered by a layer of ice. It looked as if it had snowed. Beautiful!

The beginning of a hailstorm. Can you see the hailstones amongst the gravel?

More hailstones raining from the sky.

It was starting to look like snow on the ground.

Footprints on the ground which seemed as if the ground was covered with a layer of snow.
