In the US, cold weather ice pellets are called sleet(frozen rain), or more rarely graupel, which consists of ice crystals that collect on snowflakes.
Warm weather ice is hail, in which layers of ice build up on a nucleus as the ice is lifted aloft in thunderstorms.

Pellets of frozen rain are called sleet. Sleet forms when rain freezes before reaching the ground, creating small ice pellets.
Icey pellets that have a layered structure are likely hail. Hail will usually have soft ice and hard ice layers when sliced open.
Frozen drops of rain that fall as pellets of ice and water are called sleet. Sleet is formed when snowflakes partially melt as they fall through a warm layer of air, then refreeze into ice pellets before reaching the ground.
Ice pellets that form during a thunderstorm are called hail. Hailstones are formed when strong updrafts carry raindrops into a freezing level of the atmosphere, causing them to freeze and grow larger before falling to the ground.
Balls of ice are called hailstones. They form when strong updrafts in thunderstorms carry raindrops high into the cold upper atmosphere where they freeze into ice pellets.

Sleet
When ice falls from the sky, it is called sleet. Sleet forms when snowflakes partially melt as they pass through a warm layer of air, then refreeze into ice pellets before reaching the ground.
