OTD in 2022, I (owner of NZP) as the field coordinator for NHP at Western University (my job at the time), led a small team of 3 in the field & managed to recover 🇨🇦 largest hailstone near Markerville, AB. This broke the previous 1973 record in SK both in weight & size. A record still in place today.
