What is the life cycle of hail?

It starts life when water vapour in a cloud condenses onto a nucleating particle which may be a bit of dust. The droplet falls through the cloud. However, it is caught by an updraft which takes it up into higher and much colder regions of the cloud where it freezes. At the same time more vapour condenses on it and so it becomes a bigger piece of hail. It falls, due to gravity, only to be caught in another updraft. After several journeys up and down the cloud, the hail is too heavy for an updraft to raise it and so it falls to earth.
