Raining snowballs
"Calif Bill" wrote in message ink.net... "rb608" wrote in message ps.com... snip It was little balls made up of tiny little snow crystals. If you squeezed one, it would easily crush just like a snowball. Because of the thunderstorms in the area (we never got one), I have to assume those updrafts had something to do with the formation of this stuff; but I've never seen anything like it. It was brief, beautiful, and even a bit funny to watch bouncing off the ground and the fishermen. Air temps at the time were probably in the low to mid 40s if that helps. Anybody have a name for this stuff or how it's formed? They call it 'corn snow'. Seems to only happen in the spring in the Sierras. We got the same thing here in W. Michigan late last week. BB sized snowballs. Wierd. Kinda cool though. Jeremy Moe
