Today we had graupel
Graupel: Graupel (also called snow pellets) refers to precipitation that forms when supercooled droplets of water condense on a snowflake, forming a 2–5 mm ball of rime; the snowflake acts as a nucleus of condensation in this process. The term is derived from German Graupel meaning the same. (Wikipedia)
Below is what it looked like when it was done graupeling.
We also had sunshine, rain, regular snow, more sunshine, then the graupel and now there is blue sky to the west.
But the forecast, it looks promising…
even though today we had graupel.
