Today we had alot of graupel but everyone I talked to called it sago. I even heard corn snow which it is not( that's spring snow having gone through multiple freeze/thaw cycles). I dont know where sago came from and its not a technical term for small hail/snow.
It's the same as every time it snows people call it powder when to me powder is something that plumes and fills the sky behind me when I ski.
I don't correct people but it annoys the sh?t out of me. I could go on sastrugi/coral, ice when it's only hard pack, etc...
I am clearly old fashioned but I hate losing these classic forms of terminologies.
Please help...
