BuffaloWeather Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 So first batch of precip is in the form of Grapel. After this recent event think I'm going to go more frozen precip that originally thought with this next event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed more like hail to me the way it was bouncing off the cars, graupel is usually soft and doesn’t make as much noise. However VIL data on the radar doesn’t show anything so not sure about hail.

Hail is only in thunderstorms with high cloud tops, these weren't that it was graupel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 9 minutes ago, BuffaloWeather said: what area is this and elevation? That's Allendale, just west of Grand Rapids. The elevation is pretty close to lake level, at around 650 feet. It was snowing pretty hard about an hour ago and the pavement was completely covered. Looks like it's melting now that rates have dropped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GVSU Web Cam I have heard that annual snowfall has tripled in that area the last few years after averaging only 1” of snow for the few years before that. Locals aren’t quite sure what caused the huge swing…. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
