Frogs, on the other hand, don't.
Haven't you ever watched Unsolved Mysteries? Btw, I didn't say that it was snow that fell. I said it may well have been.
Yes, but I tend to like to apply reason, logic, and science before consigning something to the unexplained. That's the difference between having a critical eye for the veracity of an observation versus formulating a just-so story with the backing of "stuff just happens sometimes."
Considering that parameters were not even close for snow to occur, considering that parameters were right for thunderstorms to occur, and considering that the freezing level was low enough for hail to fall from those thunderstorms, considering a region that has not witnessed snow or hail with any regularity and considering a heavy hail covering the ground can look like snow and be mistaken for such, why even acknowledge the possibility that it was something that defies physics when physical parameters support the other theory extremely well? That's just having an unreasonable eye for the irrational.
My reputation in real life is based upon my being straight forward, square dealing, and honest. You will never find me exaggerate or make any representation that isn't accurate. If I'm unsure of something, I try my best to make it clear that I'm uncertain. I know what the temperature was because the place I was working at had an outside thermometer and we were all aghast at the event. If it had been in mid January, while snow is rare in central Mississippi, it wouldn't have been such an oddity.
Look I don't think your telling a story. I think you are confusing one incident with another.
