graupel

It is graupeling in Texas right now.

graupel - precipitation that forms when supercooled water droplets are collected and freeze on falling snowflakes

I would like to thank my mom and sister for this as well as the German language for such an awesome word. It is graupeling. Graupelling? I am now sharing it with everyone in ear- and/or textshot.

It's also 34 F so it isn't sticking but is coming down in like three directions simultaneously and therefore surreal to those of us who were living it up at seventy like two days ago. I was pondering my short sleeve shirts people.

In closing: graupel.

Yep, I live in the Permian Basin of Tx (ugly Odessa,bleh)and yesterday it was 78 degrees; today--29 degrees, wind chill of 20. Wtf, planet?! We did not get graupelling action here but out of the blue this evening there was one huge clap of thunder, then nothing. Scared the crap out of my dog.

Well, "Graupel" is the noun; you don't really use it as a verb.
