Heartless Aztec કહ્યું...

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

Meade કહ્યું...

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

lemondog કહ્યું...

Weather Bug says freezing rain....

chickelit કહ્યું...

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.

Ann Althouse કહ્યું...

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.

Ann Althouse કહ્યું...

Hail to the chief.

Pellets to the rest of us.

Meade કહ્યું...

All hail the mighty Badgers!

Meade કહ્યું...

Decker rained down 3's on Arizona.

chickelit કહ્યું...

Hale and hearty birthday wishes, Meade.

Meade કહ્યું...

I mean — Dekker.

Meade કહ્યું...

Thanks. You too, chickelit.

rhhardin કહ્યું...

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

Wince કહ્યું...

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

"It makes you worry that your car will get dents."

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.

Big Mike કહ્યું...

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

traditionalguy કહ્યું...

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.

Unknown કહ્યું...

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

અજ્ઞાત કહ્યું...

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.

Anthony કહ્યું...

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.

ken in tx કહ્યું...

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