Who came up with that word lol ?
Says Google.Graupel (/ˈɡraʊpəl/; German: [ˈɡʁaʊpl̩]), also called soft hail or snow pellets, is precipitation that forms when supercooled water droplets are collected and freeze on falling snowflakes, forming 2–5 mm (0.08–0.20 in) balls of rime. Graupel is distinct from hail and ice pellets.
