[snowstorm in may]
[Wednesday is a cool and cloudy day from the start, but it gets a little cooler as the day goes on. Residents of the city begin pulling out warmer coats, but it seems like just your average freak cold snap until late in the afternoon.
Clouds have been gathering all day, but they suddenly wrap together, darken, and intensify. The only comparable phenomenon is the flooding rain of a month or so before, but this time, when the rain comes, it brings with it an intense flash of serious, dangerous weather phenomena. The temperature drops by tens, and within five minutes it has gone from fifty degrees to fifteen. The rain, already coming down in sheets, begin to freeze, first into slush, then into thick, large hail that is slung around by high speed winds.
Planes are grounded, children are huddled home from school. An hour later the worst of the high winds and hail seem to have died down, but it continues to snow, a localized blizzard hovering over the city and refusing to move.]
[ooc: The snowstorm will continue for a few days, until the person responsible has been apprehended. During that period there will be short bouts of more dangerous weather like the high winds from before, but mostly just a steady stream of snow falling steadier during some periods than others. It is normal enough weather for January, but in late May it is bizarre, freakish, and cannot be explained, particularly because it doesn't immediately fade away.]
