Did You Know?
HAIL, SLEET, FREEZING RAIN, OR GRAUPEL?
Hail normally occurs in thunderstorms and is the result of strong up drafts that repeatedly carry growing chunks of ice upwards into the clouds. Once the hail stones become too heavy to be lifted by the up drafts, they fall to the ground. Sleet occurs during a winter storm and is caused by rain falling into a cold layer of air aloft which has to be below freezing. As the raindrops fall through the cold layer of air, they freeze and become small ice pellets. Freezing rain is basically rain that falls onto the ground and then freezes AFTER it hits the ground. It causes a glaze of ice on trees and any surface that is below freezing. Graupel forms as snow, then is rimed in layers by supercooled liquid from updrafts into showers. Usually occurs when the lower atmosphere is very unstable. Also called snow pellets.
