Playlearn Snow, White

Product Information

Ice pellets – Two manifestations, sleet and small hail, that result in irregular spherical particles, which typically bounce upon impact. Sleet comprises grains of ice that form from refreezing of largely melted snowflakes when falling through into a frozen layer of air near the surface. Small hail forms from snow pellets encased in a thin layer of ice caused either by accretion of droplets or by refreezing of each particle's surface. [16]

Rime frost occurs when supercooled droplets freeze and attach onto an exposed surface. The moisture comes typically comes from freezing fog or mist droplets that turn directly from a liquid state to a solid state, with calm winds. Brune, Vanessa (18 March 2018).

Retrieved 19 December 2017.Snow pellets (also soft hail, graupel, tapioca snow) – Spherical or conical ice particles, based on a snowlike structure, with diameters between 2mm and 5mm. They form by accretion of supercooled droplets near or slightly below the freezing point and rebound off hard surfaces upon landing. [19]
