Our 23rd #ICECHIP deployment yesterday was successful, and the sunset was incredible. This was Purdue's final day on this historic project that I'm grateful to have been a part of. Next up is a very long drive south to bring the instruments home 🫡

Sometimes we get to do other fun things during field campaigns. A hike at Scotts Bluff National Monument this evening was one of them for me #ICECHIP

Supercell from #ICECHIP 's 20th deployment on June 20th at the ND/SD border. Lots of strong winds with this storm, but most importantly hail too that was collected!

I've been home for almost week after a crew swap, so I've lost track of the deployments. But, I was in Texas before coming home, and I'm grateful to have been there for IOP12 (to me, our most successful ground deployment yet). #ICECHIP

Calming shelf before the storm (and dust) on our 8th #ICECHIP deployment on a QLCS in the TX panhandle. Stayed the night along Route 66 (they should make a Cars movie with storm chasing armadas)
