Description This is single particle of "frozen rain". These drops at high magnification looks really interesting: many of them is not very symmetrical, but transparent, with nice surface features, and they contain elegant arrays of air bubbles inside.

So would this be an example of what we call 'sleet', or is it 'hail'?  I apologize if the words don't translate too well.  'frozen rain' is usually called sleet (in America, at least), since the weather system is just warm enough to make rain, but cold enough below it to make tiny particles of 'snow'.  If it's 'hail', the process goes from a cold front to a warm front; it's the phenomenon when a rainstorm gets cold enough to produce nuggets of ice for a varied amount of time.  You usually see this around America during warmer seasons.
