Melbourne storm

Andrew Bolt, Herald Sun, Australia

"HAIL has blanketed Melbourne like snow as a severe thunderstorm ripped through the city, forcing the cancellation of horse racing and sporting events.Nineteen millimetres of rain bucketed down over the city in less than 18 minutes this afternoon, the weather bureau said.The huge storm cell, which hit about 2.40pm (AEDT), resulted in a total of 26 millimetres of rain in Melbourne in less an hour, bringing emergency services to a grinding halt as reports of flooding came in from across the city."

Ed: Proof of Global Cooling ? ;-)
