Starbucks coffee frappuccino - made with hail!

By DAN ROBINSON

Editor/Photographer

From Dan: How the crime of copyright infringement took $1 million from me and brought down my business.

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. This page is a detailed account of the biggest threat to my photography and video operation that I had to battle daily to just barely survive, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem facing all of my colleagues as well.

So you have all of this hail in your yard after a severe thunderstorm just swept through, and the temperatures are rising again. What can you do to cool off?

Start off with a couple handfuls of freshly-fallen hail (rinsed off to remove dirt and grass from ground impact):

Add a bottle of cold coffee/milk mixture to blender:

Add hail:

Blend at maximum power until hail is finely ground:

Pour into large mug or glass:

Add whipped cream topping:

Now this is a great way to end a good storm chase day!

This is so unusual. I never thought you could make a coffee frappucino with hail. That sounds delicious. Hopefully, I get to try that sometime.
