No, you are not Kim Kardashian. Kardashian has been schooled on social media for claiming it is snowing in LA — during a hail storm.

In a string of videos on her Instagram page, the 40-year-old excitably ran to her expansive garden to document the “snowstorm,” branding it “insane” for Calabasas.

Except that instead of snow flurries, she mistakenly showed off hailstones. “This is insane, you guys. It’s snowing and I’m in Calabasas. I don’t know if you can see that but this is absolutely insane,” the reality star told fans.

Showing off the very clear hailstones in her hands, Kim continued: “This is crazy! It’s literally snowing in Calabasas. This is really crazy. How is this happening?”

“This is insane, my basketball court is white with snow. This is insane! You guys! My basketball court is black you guys so this is insane. This is a trip.” Side note, Kim Kardashian home has a basketball court.

After being corrected by many, many fans, Kardashian later shared a message on her story, explaining the mishap.

While Kim confused the weather phenomenon with another, her younger sister, Khloe Kardashian, managed to identify it as a hail storm. Sharing similar footage on her own Story feed, she wrote “Hail in Calabasas?”

Their sister Kendall Jenner also informed her Instagram followers that she was also struck by the odd weather as she filmed her Beverly Hills pad's backyard.
