snow pellets"(Also called soft hail, graupel, tapioca snow.) Precipitation consisting of white, opaque, approximately round (sometimes conical) ice particles having a snowlike structure, and about 2-5 mm in diameter.
Snow Pellets - precipitation in the form of white, opaque, approximately round ice particles, about 2 to 5 mm in diameter, with a snow-like structure
Snow Shower - intermittent snow falling from a convective cloud ...
SNOW PELLETS
Frozen precipitation in the form of white, round or conical opaque grains of ice. Their diameter ranges from 0.08 to 0.2 inch (2 to 5 mm).
Snow Pellets (GS) Precipitation of white, opaque grains of ice. The grains are round or sometimes conical. Diameters range from about 0.08" to 0.2" (2mm to 5 mm).
Snow pellets White, opaque, approximately round ice particles between 2 and 5 millimeters in diameter that form in a cloud either from the sticking together of ice crystals or from the process of accretion.
Snow pellets Frozen form of precipitation consisting of soft spherical (or sometimes conical) particles of opaque, white ice having diameters of 2 to 5 mm.
Snow pellets: precipitation, usually of brief duration, consisting of crisp, white, opaque ice particles, round or conical in shape and about 2 to 5 mm in diameter. Same as graupel or small hail.

Gravity Dam
In hydrologic terms, a concrete structure proportioned so that its own weight provides the major resistance to the forces exerted on it.
Graupel - snow pellets - small solid white chunks of snow.
Snow grains - very small solid chunks of snow.
Hail - large, odd-shaped, layered ice chunks that fall from thunderstorms.
Related term: snow pellets
GRAVITATION
The mutual attraction between two masses of matter. The rotation of the earth and the atmosphere modifies this attraction to produce the field of gravity.
Small HailTechnically used to refer to snow pellets or graupel.Small Stream FloodingIn hydrologic terms, flooding of small creeks, streams, or runs.SmogOriginally smog meant a mixture of smoke and fog.
Hail is considered to have a diameter of 5 millimeter or more; smaller bits of ice are classified as ice pellets, snow pellets, or graupel. Individual lumps are called hailstones. It is reported as "GR" in an observation and on the METAR.
Snow pellets (soft hail) Precipitation of white, opaque, spherical or conical ice particles that are crisp and easily crushed and that have diameters of 2 to 5 mm. Snow pillow An instrument used to measure snow water equivalents.
Listed weather types include tornado, waterspout, funnel cloud, thunderstorm and severe storm, liquid precipitation (drizzle, rain, rain showers), freezing precipitation (freezing drizzle, freezing rain), and frozen precipitation (snow, snow pellets, ...
This includes drizzle, freezing drizzle, freezing rain, hail, ice crystals, ice pellets, rain, snow, snow pellets, and snow grains.
Frozen Precipitation: Snow/Snow Pellets/Snow Grains/Hail/Sleet (ICE PELLETS) Ice Crystals. Funnel Cloud:A Funnel Cloud is a "Tornado" aloft before it touches the ground.
Precipitation Any of all of the forms of water particles, whether liquid or solid, that fall from the atmosphere and reach the ground. The forms of precipitation are: rain, drizzle, snow, snow grains, snow pellets, diamond dust, hail, ...
graupelThe same as snow pellets or small hail.greenhouse effectAtmospheric heating caused by solar radiation being readily transmitted inward through the earth's atmosphere but longwave radiation less readily transmitted outward, ...
It includes drizzle, rain, snow, snow pellets, snow grains, ice crystals, ice pellets, and hail. The ratio of precipitation to evaporation is the most important factor in the distribution of vegetation zones.
