There’s something deeply satisfying about watching a golfball blast itself into oblivion at 55 mph (24 mph horizontally) The #HailCamera system is providing an absolutely unprecedented view of hail in total free fall.

I could watch this replica of the Vivian, SD record hailstone fall through hail camera all day. Can’t wait to get this beast out in the field this season and revolutionize hail observations. #science #highspeedcamera #hail

Got up early this am to see some avalanche mitigation work and learn how they do what they do. Incredible views were had.

Had a great week in New Orleans last week at the @ametsoc.bsky.social annual meeting. Change of scenery this week for the Steamboat Wx Summit. (Though tbf NOLA kinda resembles this currently)

At breakfast and overhearing an in-depth conversation from a nearby table at full volume about how amazing the Weather Channel used to be with local on the 8’s and how far apparently the world has fallen. #themoreyouknow

Not a bad work location for a bit as things wind up for #31SLS.

After a fun weekend with friends, now on the way to #31SLS for the week. Looking forward to talking about some of the latest work. Come by Tuesday at 3pm to see some pretty exciting initial results from the NSSL Hail Camera!
