I've updated my chase logs through 5-30, and I added some pictures as well. I just noticed that many of the pictures from before 2004 aren't showing up in those logs. This past winter, I redesigned my log system to use MySQL dbs and PHP in an effort to standardize the look of the logs. Well, I guess I forgot to move the old logs and pictures over to the new 'system'. I'll get to that in the coming week hopefully.

Here are some miscellaneous pictures I've taken the past month or so...

The above graphic shows a hail spike as seen using GR2AE. It's quite fascinating to see a hail spike in GR2AE's Volume Explorer.


Another picture from GR2AE. The blue is a semi-transparent 15dbz isosurface (15dbz -- I think), and the red is a semi-transparent 60dbz isosurface. Notice how nicely this shows the overshooting top and anvil. Neato.


Yesterday (6-1-06), a line of storms developed on a cold front just northwest of Norman. The cloud line indicates the leading edge of the cold outflow from this line of storms was it approached from the northwest.


Kim brought a sick kitten home for the weekend... It was only a few weeks old, but needed quite a bit of supervision as it was being treated for a disease. She was pretty cute, but she meowed incessently.
