Looks like it, but it was a Hailstorm here this afternoon. Luckily they were only small so no damage I think, but great fun
Enjoy
Ken

Wow, looks great! Surely not too good to be on the Bonsai though? I mean... won't that melt REALLY cold water all over their precious little roots??

Wash it off if you can a bit like frost. It should be OK though says he from where it is nice and sunny and 25.

I was but have not long got home
Hey japh they will be OK
will not get the soil cold enough to to freeze the roots. Most damage from hail is with it knocking the branches off. I have a big bare spot where hail ripped off a branch from one of my JBP a few years ago

They're predicting 10 degrees max and all sorts of stuff for Canberra tomorrow. Will it snow tomorrow?

Hope my trees handle it.
That was a fair amount of small hail grant.

Ken the biggest problem with small hail. Is you do not see the damage till the new buds that were emerging open up damaged. The same as frost.
So let us hope you escaped that one.

It is freaky KC. We had similar a few years ago around Christmas and I have pictures very similar to yours but with the garden Christmas decorations in them. A white christmas in Australia
