We woke to sun and the street sweeps buzzing about and thought for a moment “SPRING!” but that was soon wiped away with a slap of sleeting snow that the weatherman called graupel, which lead to a quizzical look from Jason and a shared “wtf did the weatherman just say” moment, which then lead to a google search..
Graupel (German pronunciation:[ˈɡʁaʊpəl]; English/ˈɡraʊpəl/, also called soft hail or snow pellets)
So ok, yeah, it graupeled (sp?) today and I feel a tad smarter and a smidge more German for new words!
