      I saw the same thing. My first thought was some arsehole had broken up a bunch of styrofoam in my yard, lol.

      I've never seen precipitation that looked or felt like that before.

        It's not? The way dippin dots are made are that the ice cream is melted and then flash frozen at extremely low temperatures, so I would assume that's what happened to this liquid.

          We usually call it hail in these parts.

            That's not how hail is made, and they stated they'd never seen precipitation like this before, leading me to believe it was the same consistency as dippin' dots.

              Had the same on my car in Lewisville. Thought it was styrofoam from the recycle dumpster across the parking lot...

                  It is large snow pellets, basically snow that gets caught in updrafts like hail but it isn't solid ice from rain freezing into balls, it is basically like a hard snowball. Snow pellets usually don't get that big though. All of this was mentioned by our local weatherman.

                        Graupel...had to look it up as I have never seen it either.

                        forms when snowflakes falling through the atmosphere collide with supercooled water droplets, or water droplets that maintain their liquid form even in temperatures below 32 degrees. Once these supercooled water droplets collide with a snowflake, a thin coating of ice instantly forms around the snowflake, turning it into a small, often irregularly-shaped ball of ice that may look similar to a sleet pellet or even small hail. Because of its similarity in appearance to sleet, graupel sometimes may be referred to as “snow pellets,” though graupel is not a form of sleet. With sleet, the original snowflake melts in a warm layer aloft, and then refreezes before reaching the ground. With graupel, the original snowflake never melts as ice coats it.

                        Also like sleet, as graupel hits the surface it may slightly bounce, though because it is softer than hail, it doesn't bounce as much! Due to its thin coating of ice, graupel is often very fragile, and can fall apart if touched or when coming into contact with a surface.

                              I agree, but you can be pretty sarcastic sometimes
