What Season is it Anyway?

Though spring is moving right along, things got very confusing today, as graupel pummeled my mountain, off and on for several hours. But spring is here. Very soon Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida) will be filling the verdant woods with creamy white blossoms. Despite today’s weather, spring is here.

  1. Roger and I saw that graupel was in the forecast today, and neither one of us was familiar with that word for snow pellets! As snow enthusiasts, and both having grown up in “snow country” we thought we knew everything about snow.
    It’s very impressive that you have enlightened your followers with a new vocabulary word!

  2. Graupel! That’s the word I was looking for this afternoon. Only learned it this Winter.

    1. Dear Julie, so many words out there to know. AND to remember. That’s my problem. I’m familiar with so many words but to have it come up in my memory is another story! Hahaha!

      Thank you so very much for reading my posts!
