Hail Storm spectacular

A hail storm hit Malta overnight, and the following morning was a spectacle that every child dreams of with streets covered in ice that really looked like snow. But unfortunately it never snows in Malta as the temperature has never gone below Zero. It was a localized storm that hit especially the area around Rabat and Dingli. We had our share of hail here in Naxxar as the pellets banging on the glass of course woke me up at 3 AM, but it was nothing like what happened on a higher elevation. These photos show a little bit of fun that children had jumping on the ice that melted by mid morning. It was coincidental that this was Saturday morning when the children had no school. So God was kind and helpful to the Maltese children. Please click on each photo to enlarge.
