- It's not hail, and it's not snow... it's called graupel. A coating of rime ice overtakes a snowflake to form graupel.

I saw graupel in london. I loved it. My family called it 'Powder snow'
Should have titled this "What in the hail is graupel?"
Missed pun opportunities are sad

hahahaha You should look up The Punnitentary on Facebook.
I've lived in Colorado for many years and spend a lot of time outside and always get a kick out of these graupel storms that can happen any time throughout the year. A few years ago we'd just had a really spectacular graupel storm on the US Air Force Academy. I encountered a young AF officer and asked her if she'd seen that graupel storm we'd just had? She informed me she was a meteorologist and there was "no such thing as 'graupel'." I asked, "You're new here, aren't you?" She said she was. I then told her, "Well, welcome to Colorado where we have graupel storms."
She couldnt have been a real meteorologist
You are young I take it?
I'd believe that meteorologist over a govt employee any day, have a nice day fed.
There's even a METAR code for graupel, so funny a meteorologist didn't know about it.
I'm 'graupel-ing' with this new term. Learn something new (or try to) every day.
I want to build a Graupelman. ⛄️
That’s an interesting looking kind of popcorn 🍿 right there.
Came up in a New England forecast today. I thought I misheard the lady but listening back I tried googling it. Thanks for the comprehensive explanation
There was this stuff all over the roof of my car.
Had that stuff in the Phoenix AZ Metro Area back in January and February 2013.
Ending got personal :D
But we didnt get a thunder sound. It just came down in NY.
It happens a lot here in Oregon too. No thunder though. I think I’ve heard thunder 4 times in ten years.
Saw some falling today in Palm Springs, CA twice. Once mid morning, and it only lasted maybe 30 seconds and was about the size of a pea. Then later in the afternoon some more graupel fell that was noticably larger and fell long enough to accumulate on my yard. It all melted about 20 minutes after the storm passed.
FYI, there was no thunder/lightning associated with this today.

North Idaho "graupel😂" is what we call it.
I've seen this in winter for years, just never came up with a phrase. Wikipedia finally did. Neat stuff. Styrofoam didn't exist when I was a kid, so I didn't have that word to help find a name for those tiny snowballs.
I'm 61 and learned about graupel in high school.
Where did you see it?
@@Sinjinator Right here in Tombstone, AZ, this year and twice. As you can see in the video, it can show up anywhere it snows.
Thanks for the info!
Thank You.
happened today in MD
Yeah it was first time I’ve seen it happen
I tried way too hard to figure this out
I JUST experienced this today, April 15th, in Dayton, Ohio area. Never heard of it before.
I still want to know, why is it so common here, and other places I lived, I don't remember it at all?
Love it, what a great video!
Does graupel cause a cataclysmic weather when it freezes or when it snows
Just had this happen in Pennsylvania rn I’ve never seen this in my life
MT gets it a lot as well.
We are supposed to get it tonight.
Happened Mn Red Lake
At 0:28 am I the only one who sees a wall of text of subtitles here?? 😭
They look like tiny snowballs
It's 3/4/20 and this fell overnight in Bloomington, MN
LOL friends in Texas… 🙃🤪
In WI it's called snow or hail. What's with the new word?
It isn't a new word you silly American. I have weather books printed in the 60's and 70's that mention it. Just highlights the failure of the American school system. Hopeless.
