Sunny Southern California got a snowy surprise on Monday, when a fast-moving thunderstorm dropped a full inch of hail on Huntington Beach and Long Beach in Orange County. That's "a significant amount of hail," according to NBC Meteorologist Domenica Davis.
A few intrepid Instagram photographers were on the scene to capture the icy action.
