Welcome back to a new semester and another year of entertaining questions about Colorado State.

For the first quiz of the season, let’s look back to this past summer – specifically the weather that still has roofing crews at full employment in northern Colorado. Vicious hail fell throughout the state in several storms, causing widespread property damage, injuries, and even the loss of some animals at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs. So this month’s question is:

Q.: What is the largest hailstone ever recorded in Colorado?

Submit your answer to csulife@colostate.edu with September Trivia in the subject line by Sept. 21. A winner will be chosen at random from all the correct answers by CSU Life staff.

And for having their answer selected, the winner will receive not only the highly coveted CAM the Ram bobblehead, autographed by Colorado State Climatologist Russ Schumacher, the winningest Ram ever to appear on Jeopardy!, but also a $10 gift card to Mugs Coffee Lounge, good at either location.

Good luck!
