I live north of Santa Fe, at the point were the Rio Grande cuts through 
the lava fields from the Jemez thus also becoming a bit of a wind-funnel 
and a locally low-altitude (5400ft just miles from the 6500-7500 foot 
mesas of White Rock and Los Alamos) cold-air drainage.

We had heavy hail at 1AM.... I don't know that I've ever experienced 
much hail at all outside the daylight hours, I always told myself the 
story that the conditions that lead to hail required ground-temperature 
based thermals?

inquiring minds want to know.
