May! graupel in NE PA...strange weather! (live, pool)

[Summering]

Ok.........everyone in Lackawanna........Did you love the graupel coming your way this morning? And..........thats not like a side dish with eggs

" graupel " "a kind of frozen precipitation consisting of brittle, white, ice particals having a snow like structure."

Gosh, I saw it with my own eyes, on your local station.
I was "joking" with my daughter who stayed over in Blakeslee that she could see snow. I was not serious. But.................

I wonder if this is the new record date for a snow like substance in this part of the country.

Anyone see this for real?.........or did you all sleep in this morn.

Hey Summering..not only do I read the smilies in your posts but I feel them! I did not get the graupel here in Wayne, but my mom called me freaking out about it...it may have been a record. Wild! The weather was kind of neat here today. We oscillated between bright sunshine and dark clouds every half hour or so...kind of mystical.

[Summering]

Well, MermanMike......that even gives me a bigger smile .... tada.....
I'm glad that someone saw this May extravaganza because its just toooooo late in May to be snowing. Alright Mother Nature? Mikes Mom saw this occur in person..........one true beliver Hello Mikes Mom, I saw it on TV!
It is a mystical day.....Thats a good word for it. Strange and Mystical

And ya know...what's more...it is actually a blue moon today (the Wesak moon also)...some would say it isn't a blue moon because they define a blue moon as two full moons in one month. But, a blue moon is really two full moons in the same sign, and today is the second consecutive Scorpio full moon. The graupel also proves that it is a blue moon!
The Wesak aspect accounts for the mystical feeling of the day. Some say Buddha and Jesus come together on this day for a party in the Himalayas! Imagine that party!

Love the Blue Moon..........My favorite song........!!!
Blue Moon by Steve Holy.........( not the old Blue Moon song......) He sings it fantastically. ( I found it on Utube also)
Jesus and Buddha having a party? Were we all invited?
I don't know a song about a Wesak Moon.........ah..........thats a real moon?

Summering I saw the graupel you speak of this morning at work while on my lunch break around 11:00. I couldn't believe it coming down in the latter part of May.

My kayak is -- ready and polished -- I'm ready for the SUN !!

Thanks for the education, I was calling it small hail all morning yesterday! Saw it, felt it and drove in it. I knew it was strange but had no idea why. Thanks all!

[Summering]

Its a cute little word I never used before this MAY attack either..........LOL
But, the weatherman confirmed it as such...........graupel!
The Kayak is ready of Nkotbs, and the boat is ready here for Beltzville.........
Even the pool is up and ready......Now...........
Where is the Sun? Someone tell mother nature its MAY already........please.

Never knew we had graupel. It sounds like some sorta cereal. I didn't see it but I did see the clouds then sun, the clouds, rain, maybe a little graupel, it looked like white flakes. It wasn't on the grass though. It looked like flakes falling. I want warm weather now!
