Q & A


WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SLEET AND HAIL?

>

EVEN THOUGH, SLEET AND HAIL ARE IN A FORM OF ICE, THE WAY

THEY DEVELOP, AND THEIR ORIGINS ARE DIFFERENT.

HAIL IS PRODUCED BY A CUMULONIMBUS CLOUD.

AS STRONG WIND FORCES WITHIN THE CLOUD FORCES PRECIP.

TO REACH HIGH INTO THE SKY. AT THIS HEIGHT, ICE WILL FORM.

STRONG DOWNWIND AS A "SHOWER" OF HEAVY RAIN & ICE OCCUR.

MANY "THUNDERHEAD" CLOUDS WILL HAVE SOME HAIL.

SLEET ON THE OTHER HAND, DOES NOT COME FROM A CUMULONIMBUS.

IT OCCURS WHEN FALLING SNOW ENTERS AN AREA OF A WARMER LAYER.

THE WARMER LAYER MELTS THE SNOWFLAKE. HOWEVER, IF IT ENTERS

AN AREA OF COLDER LAYER, IT WILL REFREEZE THE PRECIP. THIS

MAKES PELLETS OF ICE OR "SLEET".

HAVE A GREAT FALL!
