Saw some stories about a hailstorm in Guadalajara, Mexico that dumped something like 3-5 feet of hail. Apparently they had to use some heavy equipment to clear roads and everything.
Here is a CBS News article: Freak hailstorm dumps up to 6 feet of ice on Guadalajara, Mexico
On the flipside, I also found an article from Forbes that delves into the climatology and cautioned against the strong wording most media outlets were using such as "freak" and "epic" storm. It mentions how most of the deep piles were probably caused by the flash flooding associated with the storm. It also touches on the climate change implications a lot of articles seems to be running with. I found it pretty interesting
