Note
Weatherwise, today was a carbon copy of yesterday. Unlike yesterday, however, I was able to get out on my bike, and experience....graupel!
Actually, I got to experience it many times. Every time heavier clouds came over, they filled the air spaces below with graupel.
Given the choice between graupel and ice rain, graupel is mega better. If you're dressed right, it's even pretty fun, and the sound it makes as it bounces off your bike helmet and bike tubing is an added pleasure.
After biking, I changed over, and ran in more graupel up at Happy Jack. Once, for a moment, there was even some sunshine! For now, that will have to suffice. The next four days are looking like more winter. Someone, somewhere, must have been chanting: "Odin". And someone else, somewhere, must have been paying attention.
