Hail forms when warm air rising carried particles and clouds up past the freezing level, and layers of ice form on the particles. When the particles become too heavy, they fall as hail. Sleet forms when snow that has fallen from a cloud starts to melt, but then refreezes when it passes through a layer of cold air. What season is it if it is sleeting outside?
Winter because ice will only form when it is very cold outside
Summer because the ice is very small and melted
Winter because sleet is made from snow, which forms when it is cold
Summer because hail is made from particles carried by warm air
