Residents in Carine were left a little shaken and shocked when a violent ice storm on Monday afternoon dropped a flurry of hail in such a hurry it blanketed their suburban street in minutes.

The violent weather transformed the corner of Doriot Way and Amber Place into a winter wonderland just after 4pm, the wide road covered in hail just 10 minutes after the freak storm hit.

Some residents took advantage of the uncanny conditions, one dusting off a boogie board for a quick surf on the spectacular snowfield sitting on her street.

Others across Perth were less lucky in the winter blast, especially motorists south of Perth, where flash flooding near Fremantle caused traffic chaos on the roads ahead of the busy evening commute.
