| Notes: |
There appears to be no way to enter two separate hail reports for a single day, even when they are separated by 9-10 hours. So here are two separate reports. As I examined the pad in the early afternoon, I was able to quickly estimate that there were about 7000 rice size strikes in the first storm (11:42AM-11:47AM, followed at 11:58AM by a short burst of pea-sized strikes.
A second storm raged between 9:30 and 9:45 PM. As I had not removed the hail pad after the late morning storm, strikes from larger, soft hail and heavy, freezing, viscous rain erased >90% of the rice-sized strikes and covered the hail pad with ~842 hits from the 3/8 inch hail stones that I found frozen into a 1-inch slab wherever grassy vegetation protected the freezing rain from contact with the warmer earth. The hail pad looks reminiscent of a glacial topography.

Their station is 1/2 mile east of mine and several hundred feet lower.
Complaint to management: There seems to be no way to submit separate hail storms in one day. |
