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."
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
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.
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.
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.

Should have titled this "What in the hail is graupel?"
Missed pun opportunities are sad

I saw graupel in london. I loved it. My family called it 'Powder snow'

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.
Had that stuff in the Phoenix AZ Metro Area back in January and February 2013.
There was this stuff all over the roof of my car.
Ending got personal :D
North Idaho "graupel😂" is what we call it.
Thank You.

Thanks for the info!
It happens a lot here in Oregon too. No thunder though. I think I’ve heard thunder 4 times in ten years.
I tried way too hard to figure this out

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.
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?
Does graupel cause a cataclysmic weather when it freezes or when it snows
Love it, what a great video!
Happened Mn Red Lake
MT gets it a lot as well.
At 0:28 am I the only one who sees a wall of text of subtitles here?? 😭
Just had this happen in Pennsylvania rn I’ve never seen this in my life
We are supposed to get it tonight.
I want this
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.
