A carpet of hail stones in Preston Pic: Rory Cocker
The Preston weather gods certainly had it in for the city today – with huge hail stones falling from the sky.
As the temperature dropped many Prestonians were caught in the hail storm which swept through the area. It followed a warning of snow and ice throughout Monday morning.
Many tweeted Blog Preston to show the size of the hail stones which came down.
