A closeup of the "stuff" that fell this morning. Looks like tiny round white balls. Not snow, must be sleet then, I suppose. I'm reminded of the Dippin Dots at the mall.   4951

I think it's in-between.Actually it looks like Dippin Dots ice cream 4951

Very dry out now! Just arrived downtown... 4951

My daughter was eating her breakfast in the kitchen this morning and said there was snow on the neighbor's roof.  I just laughed it off and said that it has to be frost.  I couldn't believe it when I went outside and there were dipping dots everywhere!  I didn't even hear anything about this in the forecast.  It's kind of fun since it isn't sticking to the roads.  So glad that I don't have to work today though!The news is saying that it is snow pellets.  CRAZY STUFF! 4951

Nurse3:  I'll have to google that, never heard of such a thing.

Graupel (German pronunciation: ['gʁaʊpɛl]; English /ˈɡraʊpəl/, also called soft hail or snow pellets)[1] refers to 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. Strictly speaking, graupel is not the same as hail or ice pellets.While graupel is sometimes referred to as small hail, the World Meteorological Organization defines small hail as snow pellets encapsulated by ice, a precipitation halfway between graupel and hail.[2]The term graupel is the German word for the described meteorological phenomenon.[3] Its METAR code is GS.Say what now??   4951

@mpjp0907: I guess those water drops jumped those snowflakes and rode them all the way down. Have you ever seen that in Ohio??
