Roads turn to rivers as NSW suffers freak hailstorm - The Sunday Telegraph
by By Gemma Piali and Ben Pike | April 25, 2015
SEVEN factories collapsed, football matches were halted, power cut and roads turned into rivers after Sydney was smashed by a freak storm today.
A booming cold system which formed over the southwest slopes and the Blue Mountains hit the western suburbs mid-afternoon before its destructive winds and hail turned streets into snow fields.
More than 50cm of hail dumped on parts of western Sydney, with kids making snow men, sliding on cardboard boxes and throwing balls of ice.
Grown men got their snowboards out and started sliding down one suburban street in Newtown.
