Interesting photo of someone trying to send hail pictures into
a TV station in Dallas/Fort Worth, and they are using ice cubes.

Hmmm...I wonder if the senders name was Bobbie Cookie??

I feel so guilty....

a joke a did with friends, holding huge snowballs ;-) but the legend with the image did tell so. No hoax .

That's excellent. You'd think they'd at least try to shape them into a more realistic shape.

Olivier, I'm also guilty. Some snow-hail from a busted March chase in Minnesota:

At least the ice cubes were intact and not crushed up like the hailstones in twister. I think I recognize those stones in that photo. They came from a General Electric.

 

[Josh VandenTop]

I like the fact that they also spread some on the ground, as if to make it look real, lol.

Kid: "It's hailing! It's hailing!"

Mom: "Why does the lawn smell like bourbon?"

Dad: "Where's my drink?"

Way to go, "Tyler"......

You couldn't have dug down in your icebox for some of those really, really old, really, really congealed meteorites of hundreds of ice cubes??? You know - the ones that smell like leftovers? At least that could've maybe looked a bit more "convincing"......

Not really worthy of a big discussion - but hilarious nonetheless.

One of the funniest weather related stories ever. Wish I'd thought of it.

I prefer sears hailstones myself
