Is that the same as graupel?

Texas ebony (Chloroleucon ebano)

Iris,

Rick may not check the list for a while, so I'll answer your
last question: Yes. AKA P. ebano (though I think most folks
say that is an old synonym - it's the one I learned, and still
use.)

I dunno graupel, though I COULD look it up. But since it
obviously has something to do with snow, and I don't DO snow, I
won't. ;-)
