Snow Pellets (GS): Precipitation of white, opaque grains of ice. The grains are round or sometimes conical. Diameters range from about 0.08 to 0.2 inch (2 to 5 mm). This is also referred to as Small Hail.
Ice pellets may be spheres or irregularly shaped. Ice pellets will usually bounce on impacting a hard surface, often with an audible sound. Ice pellets may be classed as either sleet and small hail.
Hail is considered to have a diameter of 5 millimeter or more; smaller bits of ice are classified as ice pellets, snow pellets, or graupel. Individual lumps are called hailstones. It is reported as "GR" in an observation and on the METAR. Small hail ...
