Evening temperature sounding from Davenport, IA |
There was some disagreement, however, on the above topic. The NWS out of Milwaukee has been calling it hail, while the NWS in Chicago is calling it graupel. In case you are wondering what graupel is, it is a heavily-rimed snow particle that looks like soft, small hail. The only real way you can differentiate it from hail is that it has a diameter less than 5mm.
