Red sky at night and graupel (February 7-8, 2019)

Red sky at night on February 7, 2019.  Shouldn't that have meant "sailor's delight" on February 8?

New word for me: "graupel." Graupel is small snow pellets or soft hail precipitation that is formed when supercooled water droplets are collected and freeze on falling snowflakes. Graupel is seen as small balls of ice, and appear more white than clear.

The weather is confusing the flora.  The Carolina jasmine has been blooming for a week, never mind graupel.

Papa chair, Mama chair, and Baby chair? Unwelcome visit by Graupel?
