That's not a hail storm



This is a hail storm

Wow ! When did that hail storm occur?

A few hailstones from the storm that hit Clovis NM the other night.

Those are some serious hailstones. I think the largest that I've ever seen in person was somewhere between nickel and quarter sized.

Looks like the hailstorm was July 2019.

The freak storm that dumped more than 3 feet of hail on Guadalajara, Mexico, on Sunday left locals and people around the world wondering how such an extraordinary event could hit an area that just days before had been basking in warm, sunny summer weather.

BEMAC (Boeing Electro-Mechanical Analog Computer) (Seattle 1948). Aerospace engineers from the Physical Research Unit are adjusting potentiometer settings on an unusual hybrid computer used in aerodynamic research relating to Boeing's Ground-to-Air Pilotless Aircraft (GAPA) program for the US Air Force. It could electronically simulate the flight of short-range anti-aircraft surface-to-air missiles (SAMs). The electronic part of the computer used 3000 Vacuum tubes and was connected via a cable harness to a table-mounted section containing twenty electromechanical integrators that performed the role of differential analyzer for solving the Newtonian equations of motion. Trajectory information was output to an oscilloscope screen and photographed. As a result of this theoretical research, Boeing was able to build a ramjet powered vehicle that set an altitude record of 18,000 m in 1949. GAPA faced strong competition from the US Army's Nike missile system, and was eventually canceled in favor of Nike for deployment. However the experience developed was not lost, it was re-used by the Boeing and Project Wizard team at the Michigan Aeronautical Research Center to develop a much longer-ranged (320 km) Mach 3 winged missile called the CIM-10 Bomarc capable of reaching 24,000 m in altitude!

In 1911 when you wanted to travel in snow, you improvised! Here we see Arthur Foote and crew wrapping a large rope around the tires during the annual Tahoe Tavern Challenge. The "challenge" was to see who would be the first across the Summit in Spring. The event ended at the Tahoe Tavern in Tahoe City. This was long before the state began plowing roads, so seeing who could cross first was a real challenge. Arthur and his team won the three-foot-tall silver trophy.
