Thanks for this article (from the far north of Scotland (Lairg))! My son gave us a book on weather for Christmas and I have just given my husband an anemometer for his birthday—so we are really into weather at the moment. I subscribed because of the weather angle, but the Laura Ingalls Wilder one was a bonus. I spent a year in the States (Illinois)a long time ago and read all the Little House books while I was there. I loved them!😊 I have seen graupel (but did not know the name for it). This was a great recap on the different types of precipitation and I look forward to more of your posts!

Welcome from across the ocean! I'm so glad you are here. What fun weather gifts (and of course, I'm very curious what the weather book was)!
Thank you! It was The Secret World of Weather, by Tristan Gooley😊
Okay, wow! Have always wondered about the difference between freezing rain and sleet! But how do you pronounce "graupel"??
It's pronounced "GRAW-pull"!
