Following the dissipation of the pretty Torrington supercell and its remnants’ merger into a larger cluster of storms, I headed up the road in hopes of a marvelous sunset (fulfilled!). Along the way, I found a copious deposit of hail from that supercell, and/or another severe storm trailing behind it, precip shafts from which can be seen at left. The largest hailstones I found were about 2-1/2 inches in max diameter, in the shelter of grass where melting had been slower. However, even after the hailstorm, a traffic hazard remained in the form of slushy hail lingering near Lingle. One vehicle’s slip-slide adventure (not mine) was evident in these tire tracks.
