See previous post. Until tomorrow....
That was easy!!
That's cheating, isn't it?!
On Sunday, we traveled from Midland to Lubbock Texas (home of the Red Raiders AND Chris Weiss, Sticknet and TTU-Ka radar coordinator--I am pretty sure that is what the Welcome to Lubbock sign says...). It was a travel/down day, which means that we did laundry (the lucky ones--the others, well, stink), repaired radars, and backed up data. As a data backer upper (my official title), I am quite pleased with the data collected on 12 May--tornadogensis of a weak tornado (I will post some images soon)!
Today (Monday, 17 May), we revisited the Land of Enchantment, home of Peppy the Pistachio (I still have yet to meet the elusive Peppy--I am starting to doubt his existence). Amazingly, we traveled the same roads as we did on Saturday and intercepted the same storm! OK--same roads, yes, same storm, no. We collected data on a prolific hail producing storm west of Artesia, NM. Windshields were lost (3, I believe...) and Italian food was consumed.
Tomorrow weather conditions look more favorable for tornadoes (really!)...and Lock Ness Monsters (not really).

Picture 1: The pod people maintain their pods. I think they are starting to bond...is it abnormal that the pod people tuck their pods in at night?
Picture 2: Alright, we don't REALLY derive equations ALL day...we also see-saw.
Picture 3: A glamour shot of the WOWs and a Smart-Radar. The WOWs aren't so shy when the lighting is right.
Picture 4: Yes! We finally made it to Roswell! The alien street lights and the UFO museum make it so!
