I remember one occasion where soft hail ( graupel ) fell in the summer in Northern Ontario, and it was reported as 27C ( 80F ) and snow, but actual snow doesn't fall at those temperatures.

The differences between the crystalline nature of cloud ice and snow, compared with the spherical nature of raindrops, and the semi-spherical shape of graupel will likely produce different fall velocities when frozen water is included in the parameterizations.

The relation between a fox's wedding and the weather also differs by area, and in the Kumamoto Prefecture, it is when a rainbow appears, and in the Aichi Prefecture, it is when graupel falls that there is a fox's wedding.

Lightning, thunder, rain, granular snow, ice pellets, graupel, hail, blowing dust, and freezing rain wee also elements of this storm in different locations, which the National Weather Service in Des Moines, Iowa called an " epic " blizzard in its 07.

Dr . Michael Cherington Sr ., author of the report, explained that two factors stood out in both cases : the appearance of convective clouds, which carry an electrical charge, and the presence of precipitation in the form of large ice particles or snow pellets known as graupel.

Probably two to three minutes after this the airplane encountered icing conditions ( the cockpit voice recorder recorded what sounded like hail or graupel on the outside of the airplane, and the engine anti-ice system came on ) and ice crystals started to accumulate in the pitot tubes ( pitot tubes are devices that provide critical information about how fast the aircraft is moving through the air ).
