This is funny. But it is

This is funny. But it is confusing isn't it. So many labels for basically the same thing. There can't be a difference between sleet and freezing rain.


Hail is big stuff. Freezing

Hail is big stuff. Freezing rain is smaller like pellets. But that's also sleet. Small hair can be sleet. But sleet can never be hail even though it can be freezing rain.

Get it? Now I have to sit down, I'm dizzy.

Amazingly, I had this same debate with my husband a couple weeks ago. He's a moron! He says freezing rain is no different than hail. By his analysis, hail is no different than snow since its component parts are the same.

I still don't know the answers. And, I agree, who cares, but it is amusing.

Freezing rain is rain that freezes on contact with the ground or likewise whatever it lands on. Hail likewise is a mass of ice that is built upon a updraft in a storm until it cant be supported by the updraft and falls to the earth. Kinda like a onion gaining new layers. Sleet is just the middle ground between rain and snow


Hail usually comes from

Hail usually comes from thunderstorms in summer time. Freezing rain usually happens when rain reaches grounds that is below 32 degrees and freezes on contact. Sleet is snow that is melt but then frozen just before it reaches the ground ...most of the time it melts and don't stick to the ground
