Happens when snowflakes partly melt and then refreeze; the density and texture are halfway between snow and ice pellets.

I’ve actually seen this happen, it’s really cool and it’s called graupel.

It’s definitely not either, dippin dots is a great way to explain it.

Also, it’s a German term, graupel, and we’ve changed nothing about the word in English so now you know a German term.

Very cool if you ever saw a video of how dippin dots are made. It’s very similar to how graupel forms.
