We had our first wintry precipitation yesterday.  It was graupel.  Some areas reported snow flurries but I didn’t see any; but I definitely had graupel hitting my windshield as I was driving.  It didn’t last long and melted on contact.  We are promised to see some snow today, mainly this afternoon, although no accumulations are expected.  Not a good forecast for the kids tonight.
