Just call it snow?

Ok, so we did get some nice rain, several places even got snow but the mountains are fully loaded now which is nice!  Disneyland even got some "snow" but it's called graupel?  Apparently that is not exactly snow nor hail but something very light and fluffy and I guess dissolves at impact.  So why not call it just snow?  So the internet defines it as "Graupel are soft, small pellets formed when supercooled water droplets - typically at a temperature below 32F - freeze onto a snow crystal."  So... light snow? I mean it looks like a more rounded snow (image was not taken by me) but still falls and lands like snow.  I don't know why it has be so different when it's pretty much the same thing.

Weekly Update:
Funny watching people in what is perceived to be an expensive car park in a parking lot.  I was at the bank this week (actually at least 3 times this week) and I saw an older man (but not old) parking his Bentley.  Granted this is an expensive car but very over priced (in my opinion).  I watched him park at a very bad angle and when he finally parked, he was well in the car space next to him (which had a car in it) and I noticed he turned off his car, looked out his door and probably realized, he can't get out!  He was too close so he turned his car on again, backed up and proceeded to go straight.  When I say straight, I mean he pulled straight back and went straight forward again so he didn't change his angle at all!  Turned off the car, looked, couldn't get out!  Turned the car on again... at this point I didn't have time to watch him do it again so I went inside the bank.  About maybe 5 minutes later he came in and I never saw what else he did but man, get a smaller car for one and take the time to park the first time maybe?

At the movies:
Smashing it's way to #1 is Creed III taking top honors for it's debut.  A nice 58.7 million to open and some decent word-of-mouth.  The next 5 days will be telling as with all movies though.  Drop down to #2 is Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania with 12.5 mil extra as it gets closer to 200 mil cume, very reachable.  Also sliding down to #3 is Cocaine Bear with 11 mil and won't hit 100 mil but will do some nice numbers.  New at #4 is Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: To the Swordsmith Village with 10.1 mil and will likely be a very fast burn at the box office. Dropping down to #5 and wrapping things up is Jesus Revolution with 8.7 mil more and will drop off very soon but continue in the after markets.

New movies did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre comes in at #7 with 3.6 mil and had a regular wide release pattern so not very good box office at all.
