It's really only me and my pessimistic LAF view. Pay no attention to MBY bias. I'm an idiot. :lol:

It is a rather complex system though. Tough on people who do it for a living. Still, plan on some kind of wintry cocktail later today. Might not be pretty for awhile tonight.

Lol- I didn't want to call you out in particular. That's why I said "some" :)

just had some light grapple (sp??) come thru.   Another hot mess pathetic excuse for a 'winterstorm', in this ongoing pathetic winter of '14-'15.  

:)

Graupel (German pronunciation: [ˈɡʁaʊpɛl]; English /ˈɡrpəl/, also called soft hail or snow pellets)[1] is precipitation that forms when supercooled droplets of water are collected and freeze on a falling snowflake, forming a 2–5 mm (0.079–0.197 in) ball of rime. The term graupel comes from the German language.

Graupel is distinct from hail, small hail and ice pellets: the World Meteorological Organization defines small hail as snow pellets encapsulated by ice, a precipitation halfway between graupel and hail.[2] The METAR code for graupel is GS.

 

snow pellets sure beat s***t, only see them imby a couple times a year :D
