No, we didn't just spill a whole bag of styrene pellets across the yard ...
These horrid little white balls came plummeting from the sky! They're called graupel or popcorn snow
April is really testing us this year. I felt good about crushing some just to get my frustration out!

i just love graupel - it's so weird - but it's probably only the name of the stuff that appeals to me! surprisingly we see it around here fairly often (maybe once a year) but you need to look out for it. it's not sleet, not hail, but similar looking. i've seen it here in summer too. - BG
The word itself is cool
