Hail
Hail is frozen rain, but it is made by accretion high in the clouds. Rain that freezes on its way down to the surface is called sleet.
Sleet
Pellets of frozen rain are called sleet. Sleet forms when rain freezes before reaching the ground, creating small ice pellets.
sleet i guess----------------------The above 'sleet' is correct for half frozen rain (that is falling). However half melted snow (on the ground) is called 'slush'.

A word that describes frozen rain is ice.

Actually they are the same; sleet is frozen rain, or ice pellets. This is not to be confused with FREEZING rain, which is rain that freezes near the ground level if it is colder than above. Sleet is already frozen when it hits.
Another name for frozen rain is sleet. It is a type of frozen precipitation that consists of raindrops that have frozen before reaching the ground.
It is hail (often called hailstones)
Hail or sleet.
Frozen rain droplets can form in thunderstorms when raindrops get carried into colder upper atmosphere regions where they freeze. These frozen droplets, called hail, can grow larger as they are carried by updrafts within the storm, eventually falling to the ground when they become too heavy to be supported by the updraft.
