See it to believe it: Sacramento's hail storm

On Monday afternoon, Sacramento saw a hail storm that looked more like a snowstorm.

All hail weather!

Thunderstorms dropped pea-sized hail across Sacramento this afternoon. The National Weather service also reported that weak funnel clouds have been spotted.

Many in the area took to social media to share what they saw.

Webcams show large amounts of hail on I80, I5, and Highway 99 just north of Sacramento! Use extreme caution driving in this area, roads are very slippery! #cawx #hail pic.twitter.com/fyP3mm25gA
