sheunsheun: What in the world are you talking about? Mistake hailstone for snow? Are you okay? I watched the video and what I see there is snow, like you need to quit already. You're talking to someone who's experienced both, when snow falls, it's flaky. After a few hours, it turns to ice and if untreated (particularly where's a bunch of it), it turns into serious ice that makes it really difficult to melt. As for hailstones, they are ice ice balls but they quickly melt away anyway more quickly and faster than snow ice... Honestly you need to quit it already. This is hailstone, you can see the "distinctive" ball shape size Now wait for me to upload a snow. Now go back and watch the video again... Tell me the difference. In the meantime, stop arguing because you're dead wrong. |

manny4life:U are the 1 very sick here, you even mistook what you saw in the video as snow? And you didn't listen to the reporter as well? You didn't experience what Kenya experienced 8 years ago so don't tell me you have experience both. Watch the video again and this time use your hearing aids And if you can't hear you can read. Read exactly what happened here http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7596134.stm |

sheunsheun: It's funny how dumbo's like you argue blindly... What did the reporter say? Storm? Sh1thead, there's also a snowstorm you tard... Quit arguing foolishly.. If you weren't a fucktardious unrepentant slimmy little fuckery of a human, you would state exactly what the reporter said, the playback time and expatiate on it. Arguing with dolts who sit in their living room making foolish argument is what I can't stand. Look at this idiot telling me I haven't experienced both... Look up Snowmageddon in the North East part of the U.S. and you think I don't know what both means? Where do your type resonate from? Keep your stinking idiotic thought process to yourself, your words are less appealing for any sort of arguments. Intelligent people are correcting you that's snow and you're arguing unrelentingly trying so hard to prove how stupppidd you are... Shut the fuccck up already. |

manny4life:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7596134.stm I guess you read the article, so who's the dumbo here. And it's surprising you heard snowstorm, well I heard "hailstorm" The fact that you were abusive shows how irresponsible you are, common you can make a fair and argument without foul words. |

sheunsheun: Again, tell me what exactly the reporter said... The hail covered 100 acres (40ha) of land and was at least four inches deep, privately-owned NTV station reported. This shows how stuppidd you guys are... Tell me what hail reaches up to 4 inch deep? I see this stupidity is all around you guys.. |
Re: Big Balls Of Ice That Fell In Jos by manny4life(m): 9:50pm On May 11, 2016 |
sheunsheun: Oh you feel the heat? Next time when arguing, NEVER EVER throw the first punch. I simply asked you to tell me what the reporter said, and then your next reply is to call me sick... Try it again, and you're done on this thread. |

manny4life: Residents of a village in central Kenya were shocked to see a blanket of hail resembling snow covering their land. "I have not seen such a thing ever since I was born," said one resident of Nyahururu. "Where shall we graze our cattle now? We do not know when this thing will melt," said another. The Meteorological Department dismissed claims that the area had experienced snowfall, saying it was just hail which did not melt because of cold weather. There is snow in Kenya - but only on the summit of the nearby Mount Kenya. The storm caused widespread damage to food crops, grazing fields and greenhouses at a nearby flower farm. The hail covered 100 acres (40ha) of land and was at least four inches deep, privately-owned NTV station reported. 'Looks like stone' "You can see this is heavy, it's not powdery the way you'd expect snow to be," said Samuel Mwangi, the assistant director for weather forecasting at the Meteorological Department. "Nyahururu is cooler so when the hail falls, it will tend to linger for hours on the ground," he said. James Kariuki, a local journalist, said at least 50 acres (20ha) of maize and 10 greenhouses at a flower farm were damaged by the storm. Many of the villagers said they had never witnessed such an occurrence. "This is not even rain, it is something that just fell suddenly. Even if you try digging into it, you will not find any water, it just looks like stone," one villager said. Mr Mwangi said that parts of western Kenya frequently experience hail storms, but there the stones melt instantly due to high temperatures. I guess you know better than the Meteorologist tootoo |

SweetBoyFriend: it doesn't snow in Tanzania, Kenya and South Africa. Stop telling lies! The ice-caped Kilimajaro is no evidence that it snows in Kenya/Tanzania. South africa is a bit cold, but that's it; there is no snow in SA. 1 Like |

Lilimax: travel round Nigeria and experience other climate. The likes of you would stay in the south only and think that's Nigeria. I am currently in Camp and there was a sand storm. Many people who've never been to the north were astonished by it. The moral lesson is: travel round the country and appreciate what sort of country Nigeria is. 1 Like |
