Hail is a form of solid precipitation. It is distinct from ice pellets   
   (American sleet), though the two are often confused.[1] It consists of balls   
   or irregular lumps of ice, each of which is called a hailstone. Ice pellets   
   (American sleet) falls generally in cold weather while hail growth is greatly   
   inhibited during cold surface temperatures.[2]   
      
   googled it before I used the word, called my mother, and U R right.
