Hail
Hail is a small ball of ice that falls with or instead of rain. It usually occurs in warm weather and it can be very small or about the size of a golf ball and often causes damage. Hail can be used as a noun or a verb just like rain and snow. Another mix of ice or snow and rain can be called sleet. In this case, sleet often occurs during winter in cold weather.
