11/6/2010 7:00 AM 0.02 0.1 M T M Several briefly moderate graupel showers covered mulched areas last evening between 6 pm and 8pm, and graupel still remains nestled among blades of grass this morning. We were on the western edge, near the far end, of a band of lake effect clouds and precipitation during that time. An impressive view as I drove home from the west, with the golden sunset lighting up the cloud bank.
