Look at these two pictures from the internet. They are of the Pyramid of the Sun at the archaeological site of Teotihuacan, about 30 miles to the north Mexico City.
Wait a minute. Is that snow on the pyramid?! No, last Sunday, the valley of Teotihuacan had one of those hail storms which transform the landscape into what appears to be a snowy winter scene. Heavy hail storms are not uncommon around here, but this is the most dramatic one that I have seen. Authorities said that there was no damage to the archaeological site, although there were some reports of damage to homes and crops in the area. The roads were treacherous.
And meanwhile, here in Mexico City, just an hour away, we didn't even have any rain that day.
