What’s is hoar frost? That is snow that forms on surfaces that are colder than the frost point in the air around them, so water goes straight from vapor to solid. It’s often the kind on tree branches, telephone wires and other skinny items exposed to the chilly air.
So what is graupel? That is what happens when snowflakes fall through a cloud that contains supercooled water droplets. The droplets freeze onto the snowflakes and form misshapen, lumpy balls.
Happy winter.

It’s Irishization that must be feared. Liam was the most popular baby name for boys in 14 states in 2015 including New York and Florida.
Liam, of course, is just another way of saying William which was the most popular name 11 states including most of the Deep South.
Oliver is tops in Washington, South Dakota and Wisconsin; Mason leads in Pennsylvania and Delaware; and Henry in Minnesota and Nebraska. New Hampshire prefers Jackson, Oklahoma, Elijah, and Massachusetts, Benjamin.

Famed poet William Topaz McGonagall of 19th century Scotland once put a testimonial to Beecham’s Pills in verse. Here it is:
What ho! sickly people of high and low degree
I pray ye all be warned by me;
No matter what may be your bodily ills
The safest and quickest cure is Beecham’s Pills.
They are admitted to be worth a guinea a box
For bilious and nervous disorders, also smallpox,
And dizziness and drowsiness, also cold chills,
And for such diseases nothing else can equal Beecham’s Pills
They have been proved by thousands that have tried them
So that the people cannot them condemn.
Be advised by me one and all
Is the advice of Poet McGonagall.
Beecham’s Pills were a laxative made of aloe, ginger, and soap.
