Pretty warm aloft....kinda spooky to see the ground that cold though.

along with ZR at 22°F in MO, but what ADW is getting could be snow pellets which superficially resembles hail.

Yes, JQ ... it was snow pellets or graupel ... soft hail ....

It was erroneously reported by Andrews AFB as hail ...
(Maybe an automated site)
