White Rock was hit by white hail stones
Metro Vancouver isn't normally hit by large hail stones but this weekend White Rock was hit by a storm which fit the towns name.
Hail the size of large peas and small grapes fell on the Metro Vancouver municipality Saturday, June 15, during a short but notable weather event. "It was actually a nice day," says Environment Canada meteorologist Louis Kohanyi, noting the exception of the brief but powerful storm.The short storm left yards covered in rocky, white chunks of ice and caused a pause in outdoor activities during its most intense moments.
Kohanyi says the conditions were just right for hail, with freezing temperatures in the atmosphere and a thunderstorm sweeping through the area.That said, no significant damage was reported to Environment Canada, though hail can damage lots of things, including windshields. Final “highlights” from today. Wherever you were, whatever weather you had, I hope you had a great Saturday and enjoyed some time outside!! pic.twitter.
