A coinage invented to describe the kind of weather found in the winter in places where winter mostly consists of greyness, dampness, and cold, such as Seattle. It meant to simultaneously evoke grey, dismal, and drizzle.
Although the day was grizmal, she put on her ski jacket and did her best to appreciate the drizzle, the leaden skies, and the stiffening cold wind.

Grimaldish by Turnpike.20 May 29, 2019
the intersection of grim and dismal, like, for example, most jobs (with "e.g. working for walmart" being the best example for people who don't work to imagine what working might be like). other examples would be english cuisine, waterboarding (for the waterboardee), all of the circles of hell, also purgatory etc., a tea party with actual tea party members, going ice fishing with the cable guy, etc. etc. most people lead lives that are both dismal and grim, so this shouldn't be a hard idea for most of you to imagine.
