Falling Ice in Cloudless Day

In :
"But how can ice fall from a cloudless sky? Martinez-Frias speculates that global warming is causing the lower part of the atmosphere -- the troposphere, where we live -- to expand and rise. This means that the tropopause, which is the so-called roof of the troposphere, is forced to a greater height, where it cools more than normal."
Never heard of it. via

Still, ice falling from a cloudless sky sounds like something out of the Old Testament. Moses, mayhap?
