Hail Glaciers

One of the most uncomfortable weather conditions you might encounter is hail. Ice chunks falling from the sky have the potential to harm people and destroy their property. Even though it may be rare, there have been a few cases of hail-related deaths over the years. Hail also has other tricks up its pocket. You might also develop hail glaciers.

Nearly anywhere, including regions where ice and snow are typically uncommon, can have freak hailstorms. If the hail stays on the ground and the weather changes to bring rain after it, you can end up with rivers of hail streaming alongside the rain. This resulted in hail being blown along and being dumped in large cliff-like structures that were as tall as 5 to 15 feet around nearby streams in New Mexico in 2004.
