1. Snow is NOT EQUAL to hail. They are two totally different meteorological precipitation types. You can get very small hail that resembles ice pellets or snow, but it is certainly not the same thing. Hail is far more likely to fall at the lower latitudes than snow, all other factors being equal. Hail also frequently occurs when the surface temperature is well above zero degrees Celsius, even 30 degrees or higher. Snow, on the other hand, will NEVER fall or settle on the ground if the surface temperature is much higher than about 1 or 2 degrees Celsius.
2. Who cares if this incident occurred at 10 degrees north? There is not enough information from this to conclude that the event is particularly rare. Snow falls regularly in the very low latitudes because it is falling at HIGH ALTITUDES. I did some research and it turns out that "the western mountains [of Honduras, which border onto Guatemala] have the highest peaks, with the Pico Congolón at an elevation of 2,500 m and the Cerro Las Minas at 2,850 m" (from Wikipedia).
So while rare, it is certainly not inconceivable for snow to falls at elevations of 2500 metres or greater, even at low latitudes.
While I really appreciate SOTT, I am getting tired of every article pertaining to cold weather being deemed a sign of an impending Ice Age. It is sloppy, and does them no favours in the credibly department.
Couldn't agree more. It's not objective reporting when any and all things "ice" are conflated to "ice-age-now." I often lament the same situation with sinkholes. There is clearly a problem with confirmation bias at SOTT.

"According to the country’s national weather service (el Instituto Meteorológico Nacional or IMN), this phenomenon was caused by a large hailstorm (una granizada) and was not snow. A spokesman from the Institute stated, 'Due to Costa Rica’s geographical position near the equator and the elevation of the country’s mountains the conditions for snowfall do not exist.'"
