"Ice pellets," Meade answers.

Ok, I'll bite - what are ice pellets?

You're not from around here are you, surfed?

Weather Bug says freezing rain....

Icewater's indecision is whether to freeze out freedom in exchange for heat or to melt again with a shiver. So it goes until overwhelmed by a higher power overhead.

It's basically sleet that pings more when it hits things. But it's not hail. Hail is a more startling downpour of it's-a-hard-rain-that's-gonna-fall. It makes you worry that your car will get dents. Pellets seem more benign, like something you would feed an animal or would come out of the other end of an animal.

Hail to the chief.

Pellets to the rest of us.

All hail the mighty Badgers!

Spring is on its way. Yesterday the Central Ohio minimum was 17 and today it's 18, a trend.

Ice pellets are what's left behind by snow bunnies.

We have a lot of Hostas. A spring hailstorm a few years ago ripped them all to shreds. Had to live with the wreckage all summer.

More snow in Boston! They're gonna set a record that will stand forever, or at least until next year.

With ipad minis comes the mini Ice Age, and one's here. That is what Russian scientists are saying. But it should only last 60 to 80 years. It's not another Big One like Madison enjoyed once.

Hail to the Badgers indeed, but diamond-stone sleet to the Terps!

Here, on the coast of Massachusetts, it snowed yesterday, all day, with no accumulation on pavement but the dirty black snow banks along the streets and highways received a fresh coat of white. Today it is bright and sunny but I'm not fooled.

Greetings from California, where we've been in a short cooling trend - it's only going to be in the low 70s here by the Bay, and low 80s inland. It was almost ten degrees warmer last Thursday.

Ice pellets, in Alabama, are called hominy snow, because it looks like uncooked grits.
