Stx_Thunder Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 43 minutes ago, Chinook said: anybody here see hail like this? Nice. Though I might question if it’s actually real (though I see the timestamp in the stream). But if it’s legit, definitely supercooled hail stones (foggy or white nuclei). I’m assuming the “cracked” area on top happened when it hit the ground before it was picked up. It kind of looks like the shaved ice that’s made or packed for snow cones. I wonder if anyone on here has seen spiked hail stones. I saw that in real life from my own eyes once back in May 2005 from an HP supercell that was about 2” diameter and picked it up. The hailstone was almost literally ‘spiked’ that it could make your hand or fingers bleed if you weren’t careful handling it, basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherMonger Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 1 hour ago, Chinook said: anybody here see hail like this? Looks like soft ice for fountain drinks that has been hand compressed. Curl the fingers back and the curvature at the top of the "stone" matches the padding at the base of the thumb. Very similar to packing a snowball, then opening your hand before smoothing it out. Should have shattered when it hit the ground, very soft looking "ice"..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stx_Thunder Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 13 hours ago, ChiTownSnow said: Quarter to maybe slightly above here in Darien I’ve seen those weird flat-looking kind of hailstones with cratered edges before. They’ve got that foggy white nuclei, so they were indeed supercooled higher up in those storms with more updraft strength. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
