Did this even happen?  If so, I missed it completely.

I definitely heard thunder this afternoon...

we had about 6.5 minutes of very loud, big drop rain. lost power for a few minutes.

Shocked that the weather dudes, Max, WXNut, didn’t weigh in on today’s grapple (sp?). About 2pm. So unusual.  

Driving near Trader Joe’s there was this weird snow/sleet stuff coming down pretty hard. Car said it was 45 degrees F!

Kid rode his bike around the block. Came home and said it was snowing. I told him it was probably just flower petals and pollen. But it was the little hail/groupels.

Graupel.

I missed the graupel, but it was pretty nasty outside today.
