I did goggle it, I had no idea what a graupel is... I thought it might be something you ate and harvested just before a snow, like a wild berry or something.:p... and by your definition we would call that snow.

We're not to versed in the different types of frozen precipitation down here, all we know is it's cold and we don't like it!:mad:

I have heard that Eskimo`s have 27 words for snow and it isn't ever likely I will need more than the one. :D
