Snowing in Kuching Malaysia 4th July 2012 ?

 Hail or snow ... an unusual weather phenomenon in Malaysia. Who would have guessed that it would snow in Malaysia (Kuching) on the 4th of July, 2012?

I rushed out to collect the laundry, and the strange sound attracted my attention. This is the view taken from an upstairs room overlooking my neighbour's rooftop.
