The region of Hail in Saudi Arabia was buried in several inches of ice on Saturday after severe thunderstorms battered the area.

Videos circulating on social media showed thick dark clouds enveloping the sky and blocks of hail on the ground.

Omar Dajani, meteorologist at Jordan-based ArabiaWeather network, said that the hailstorm hit southwestern Hail in Saudi Arabia in the afternoon.

“This is hail, not snow, and the temperature was high, around 28 degrees Celsius, when the storm hit,” he added.

Photographer Abdullah al-Suleimi said shared pictures of the desert covered in a thick layer of hail in Al-Uthmour Bahrah Bani Rashid region in Hail.

the should not let any of that fresh water flow to the sea.

The Dutch gain more land by keeping salt water out.

The saudis can gain more land by keeping more fresh water in.

How deep was it?

Well, my friend and I came upon a kaffiyeh laying on the ground.

I picked it up and there was a head under it.

We scraped the ice away from the nose and mouth and the head said, “ Better get shovels my friends, I am riding. a camel.”

We had 3 inch hail about 9 years ago. It was a tiny cell just over our neighborhood. The insurance company totaled out our two cars and gave us new roofs on two houses. We were thrilled, since the roofs were quite old and needing replaced soon.
