You can view all categories or just the one that you are interested in.

I recently saw something in a METAR that I had to look up – Graupel.

Graupel

Also called soft hail or snow pellets, is precipitation that forms when supercooled droplets of water are collected and freeze on falling snowflakes, forming 2–5 mm (0.08–0.20 in) balls of rime. The term graupel comes from the German language.

Graupel is distinct from hail, small hail and ice pellets: The World Meteorological Organization defines small hail as snow pellets encapsulated by ice, a precipitation halfway between graupel and hail. The METAR code for graupel is GS.

Here is something interesting that made the rounds on Facebook a few weeks ago. Circular Runways!  What are your thoughts? You can leave your comments below.

Harry has been invited to participate in the Laytonsville parade.  We hope to have at least one of our vintage 3 wheelers in the parade.  You can visit Harry’s appearance calendar by clicking here to see where the Flymall team will be next.

Let’s go back in time.  Look at the car prices in this ad from the News Post (a Baltimore Maryland newspaper) September 1961.
