Hail Storm Creates Snow Cone And Other Wyoming Hail Oddities

Special thanks for Patrick Pace of Cheyenne, Wyoming for sending us this traffic cone filled with hail, after a recent storm. I guess we can call it a 'snow cone.'

Hi Glenn, I know you like to post interesting photos on your Facebook page, so I thought you'd get a kick out this. Attached is a picture of how hail interacted with a traffic cone after the Thunderbirds show at LCCC. My co-worker Kathie Lake took this photo after the hail that afternoon. She calls it a snow cone. I thought you'd appreciate it. The picture speaks for itself.

But, that's not the only strange thing that has happened because of recent hail storms in Wyoming.

How about when it hails so much WYDOT has to call out the snow plows in July?

Then there is that little problem of when it hails just enough it hurts. Thankfully, it wasn't so bad that it broke anything.

Is it hail, or snow? Looks like a bit of both.

Why not just make the best of it. Lets turn hail into snow cones.
