The crazy mix of weather has shocked many North Bay residents on the north end of the city.
Instead of a traditional -20 and light snow on February 27, North Bay residents were welcomed by thunder, lightning, and even some hail.
"Holy hail and lightning," one resident from the north end of the city stated.
"I'm sorry, but are we having a thunderstorm in February?" another resident questioned on social media.
"With a high of 8°C, where is winter?"
The hail could be found on both ends of North Bay including down in West Ferris.
According to Environment Canada, "A hail stone is a lump of ice which forms during a thunderstorm when water droplets have been tossed high into the freezing reaches of cumulonimbus or thunder clouds."
In Canada, hail stones generally range from the size of peas to the size of oranges but have been as large as 114 millimetres or the size of a grapefruit.
Environment Canada sent out a special weather statement earlier this morning about the strange weather for this time of year.
"A strong low-pressure system will affect the area today through Wednesday bringing with it a multitude of precipitation types. It will start as showers with the risk of thunderstorms this morning through tonight," Environment Canada stated.
"The rain will transition over to freezing rain or ice pellets Wednesday morning and then over to snow through Wednesday afternoon. During the transition from liquid to frozen precipitation, temperatures will rapidly drop into the minus teens leading to the potential of a flash freeze."
