Bennett Hail Video - Elbert County Accumulating Hail Video

Chased another backyard setup which yielded an amazing HP supercell that I intercepted in southern Elbert County. Of course, I cored myself in what looked like a snowstorm after the core moved across CO-71 south of Limon. Excellent structure prior to that as well.

Pics and videos posted in the links above!

We also chased this setup yesterday and it was indeed a prolific hailer to say the least. On the way home we encountered hail on the road that was about 8 - 10 inches deep with cars in the ditch on either side of the road.
