Hail in February (from over 7 months ago)
|
In September of 2025, my work is generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I'm being forced to shut down my successul operation, against my will, due to one cause alone: 95% of that revenue is being stolen by piracy and copyright infringement. I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. Do not be misled by the lies of infringers, anti-copyright activists and organized piracy cartels. This page is a detailed, evidenced account of my battle I had to undertake to just barely stay in business, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem faced by all of my colleagues and most other creators in the field. |

Back on June 22 of last year, I collected and saved a few handfuls of golfball to near-tennis ball sized hail from the Sissonville, WV storm. I've kept it in my freezer in plastic since then. Today, I remembered it was there and decided to take a look - not much left! Sublimation takes its toll over time. I don't know if I'll just let them continue to waste away, or rinse them off and 'ceremonially' use them in a glass of ginger ale. The latter seems more fitting, though I am curious how much longer they'll last.
I guess a sealed container is necessary to preserve ice in the long term. I'll have to make sure I have one ready for next time, if I get another storm like that close enough to home.
