Better question: "What is graupel"?

WaldoLydeker, It's that stuff that looks like hail, but is a bit soft, not solid ice. (I had to look this up :)

cgsfhzf, To precipitate implies a more solid form than dew or mist. Still wet, though!

Had to google: Graupel is particles of snow with a fragile crust of ice ie. soft hail.

Centenarian, I am looking forward to using this in a sentence: 'Don't forget your umbrella, it's graupelling outside' ☺️
