Thursday morning residents of Santa Rosa, N.M. woke to a wintry scene: the entire town blanketed in white after a massive hail storm dumped piles of ice more than knee high, making for a unseasonal start to the Fourth of July. 

　　下雪嗎？

　　不！是冰雹。足足有一呎厚的冰雹！

　　這是發生在今年 7月 3日的晚上，位於美國新墨西哥州內聖羅莎（Santa Rosa）的市內，下着有如哥爾夫球般大小的冰雹。一夜之後，鎮內有如降暴雪。

　　可惜的是未見有中文報章報導。

SANTA ROSA, N.M. - In some areas of New Mexico Wednesday, it looked more like the night before Christmas than Independence Day Eve.

More than a foot of hail covered streets, yards and parking lots in santa rosa, about 100 miles east of Albuquerque. A huge thunderstorm dumped golfball-sized hail around 6 p.m.

Snow plows cleared drifting hail from the roads.

The storm caused severe damage to many homes, cars and businesses.

Meteorologists say large accumulations of hail are fairly common in northeast New Mexico because of the high elevation.
