Largest Hailstone




(The new Record Holder from Vivian, SD on July 23rd 2010 on the left (Actual Hailstone), and the replica of the old record holder from Coffeyville, KS on the right)

Today I had the privilege to go down to Boulder at UCAR to see the Largest Hailstone in US History and could be the largest in Recorded World History. Thanks to Becca, and her friends in her line of work we were able to see this hailstone before it goes back to the owner for sale on ebay. We also got to see the replica of the Coffeyville, KS hailstone which was the previous record holder to the Aurora, NE hailstone, which we got to see slices of.
