ice particles
Hail or sleet
Ice particles are small pieces or fragments of frozen water suspended in air or mixed into other substances.
The term appears in meteorology for precipitation types like sleet or graupel, in food science for the texture of frozen desserts, and in atmospheric science for crystals forming clouds: Ice particles in the stratosphere contribute to ozone depletion.
