Snow Pellets
Type of precipitation. Snow pellets are white, spherical grains of ice 2 to 5 millimeters in diameter. They can be distinguished from packed snowflakes since snow pellets are firm enough to bounce when they hit the ground. Snow pellets develop as supercooled droplets freeze on ice crystals. They may fall for a brief period as the precipitation changes from ice pellets to snow.
