Is it Snow?
Posted by in Chris
One thing about living in Colorado Springs is we receive a tone of crazy weather. Whether it is temperature changes that go from 80 degrees to snow on the ground the next morning, to 15 minutes thunderstorms every afternoon in August, to snow from October until May, to 90 mile an hour winds or hail every day we receive just about everything.
But today we got something that I am still not sure what to call. Basically we receive pea size snow balls.
They were too big to fit the traditional definition of snow pellets. But they were too soft to be called hail. So was it snow pellets or was it hail? It certainly was not light rain like the Weather Service called it.

Well, I finally figured out what it was. It is called Graupel and is something we get in Colorado Springs all of the time.
