Have you ever heard of (or seen) graupel?
Graupel is a word defined as "precipitation that forms when supercooled water droplets are collected and freeze on falling snowflakes." It is not the same as hail or sleet.
We see it on occasion where I live in New York State. Yesterday, it fell during my late afternoon walk. I was able to take a picture of the graupel around my white Lenten rose blooms. It's the grainy white stuff on the ground next to my flowers.
I can't wait for spring.
Happy St. Patrick's Day to all.

ReplyDeleteSpring can't get here soon enough.

I learned something new, have a Happy St. Patrick's Day!
ReplyDeleteWe get that here also, but I never knew what it was called. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
ReplyDeleteNope, never heard of it. We rarely get hail and I've yet to see sleet, so I'm not surprised.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of graupel before, then again I've lived in Florida my entire life. I definitely learned something new today. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
