"Snow" Falls in Kenya and Everyone Loses Their Minds

KENYA — Much to their surprise residents of Nyahururu, Kenya, woke up to snow on Tuesday morning.


Many flocked to the streets, brandishing their cellphones to capture this odd occurrence, while others took to social media, to voice their disbelief.

However, the Kenyan Meterological Department was quick to point out that it wasn’t snow, but rather, a particularly aggressive hail storm.

Nonetheless, some of social media reactions to the strange weather were downright hilarious.
