At this summer's Cowley [What] Wave Camp, there was quite a bit of discussion about 180 degree thermals where we climb like mad for 180 degrees, then hang on for another 180 degrees until we connect again.
On the last day it looked like we were in the crosshairs of an approaching thunderstorm; so threw the gliders in their trailers -- and drove into a hailstorm to the north.
Now opening hail claim with auto insurer
