And they say there’s no such thing as climate change…

For 12 weird and wonderful hours last week, a Kenyan village turned into a winter wonderland.

From a Reuters story picked up by Yahoo! News:

A huge hailstorm turned parts of central Kenya white, thrilling residents most of whom had never experienced such conditions, officials said on Wednesday.

[…] Excited villagers pelted each other with snowballs while some ate pieces of the icy sheet that formed over an entire hillside.

“We thought a big white sheet had been spread, so we decided to come and see for ourselves. We thought that it was Jesus who had come back,” one villager told reporters.

It wasn’t Jesus but no one seemed to mind, seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch, fling and eat this exotic white substance falling from the sky.

Thanks, Roguester!
