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.

Hail can actually look quite pretty. Unless you’re caught in it. Ouch! Pic: Louise Hogg
