Graupel?

Somebody learned a new vocab word to describe sleet, now every station in town is using it.

My apologies... the weather lady said it's a German word meaning 'hail.'

Based on that, I was laughing my ass off at the thought of using the phrase "sieg gropple."

I know, "hail"=/= "hail," and gropple=/= graupel... and now I learn that graupel=/=hail.

So basically, I laughed my ass off yesterday for no good reason at all.

That’s funny! I’ve noticed the same with weather people around here too. 1 starts saying it and the others follow like lemmings.
