It was nice to get a small vacation in (even if very brief) after working so hard to complete my Master’s this spring and then immediately jumping into a 2 month field campaign. All very rewarding and amazing experiences, but a couple days on the beach was certainly needed. 😊

I rode along with the meteorologists chasing the world's most extreme hail storms across the Great Plains in a massive effort improve our forecasts of these damaging events. Thanks to all involved in @nsficechip.bsky.social for having us. Had a hail of a good time. 🧪🌩️🌪️

Hail yeah! The ICECHIP field campaign (@nsficechip.bsky.social) has wrapped up, and the collected hailstones are being housed in the NSF NCAR Cold Lab for further study! 🌨️🔬 The project involved chasing storms from Montana to Texas to better understand the conditions that produce hail/hailstorms.

After 42 days and 15,000 + miles driven, #ICECHIP completed 24 IOPs across 11 states, including within 75 miles from both the Mexico and Canada borders. This totaled more than 10,000 hailstones collected by our teams while data was gathered on different types of hailstorms!

Got a tornado on MiniCOW’s ferry back to Bismarck, ND after ICECHIP IOP23. The highlight of the day for me, personally.

ICECHIP IOP15 did not disappoint. Our storm put on quite the lightning show. Here are a few shots I captured.

Hail core from ICECHIP IOP13. Also had a tornado right in front of us in DOW B again but this time the forward flank got in the way of our view 😭 Finally leaving Texas today though 🙌

Tornado from ICECHIP IOP3 near Akron, CO. Not the best photo, but got a quick shot as my main focus was DOW A radar operations.

Teams had the most successful IOP yet today in Colorado, featuring > 70-80 mm hailstones (large apple sized) and an unexpected tornado near Akron! Well done everyone!
