What the National Weather Service wrote

The public and a trained spotter reported nickel to quarter size hail from a severe thunderstorm passing over Springer, NM.

The wider storm

An upper level trough crossing northern NM overlaid abundant moisture near the surface resulting in severe weather supercells developing along the east slopes of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. These supercells produced severe hail ranging in size from quarters to hen egg size. Video of golf ball to hen egg size hail was shared from Philmont Scout Ranch in Colfax County, resulting in damage to vehicles, trees, and other structures. Thankfully there was no reports of injuries or fatalities.
