One of Mexico's largest cities was transformed into a scene straight out of winter Sunday when a freak hailstorm dropped a deluge of ice that left streets impassable and cars buried.

The hailstorm in Guadalajara, located north of Mexico City, came after several days during which temperatures approached 90 degrees.

"I've never seen such scenes in Guadalajara," State Governor Enrique Alfaro said on Twitter.

Summer hail storms in Mexico are not unusual. Here is one from 2013: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_YG8Eo5Qho

The hail comes with rain and so the run-off is ice filled and accumulates where it is restricted. This is piss-poor journalism all around.

Some call it a freak hailstorm, others speak of the apocalyptic End Times.

Yep, looks like the rain swept the sleet into certain areas where it got kind of corralled and piled up, thus giving the MSM its photo-op.
