Hail Storms and Blizzards

Hail forms when the winds in a storm called updrafts are strong enough to push through the freezing level of a storm. If an updraft extends far above the freezing level, then raindrops and water vapor can freeze. Frozen water droplets can blow around to different parts of a storm, and accumulate more water and re-freeze many times before it is heavy enough to fall to the ground.

Sleet

Sleet: Rain that turns to ice pellets before reaching the ground. Sleet also causes roads to freeze and become slippery.

Sleet is precipitation of small, partially melted grains of ice. As raindrops fall from clouds, they pass through layers of air at different temperatures. If they pass through a layer with a temperature below the freezing point, they turn into sleet. Snowflakes that have melted by passing through a warm layer will turn into sleet if they then pass through a freezing layer. Sleet often falls together with snow and rain, and may deposit an icy coating on exposed surfaces. Sleet occurs only during the winter, while hail, a different form of icy precipitation, may fall at any time of the year.

Sleet forms when rain passes through a cold layer of air and freezes into ice pellets. This occurs most often in the winter when warm air is forced over a layer of cold air.
