Snow and hail are different because they form in different ways. Snow forms when water vapor goes directly into the solid phase (ice) without becoming liquid water, forming the delicate crystals we call snowflakes. Hail stars out as snowflakes in the frigid upper reaches of a strong thunderstorm. Rime accumulates on a snowflake, turning it into a pellet of graupel. That pellet is held in the air by the strong updraft of the thunderstorm, making multiple trips up and down, accumulating a layer of ice with each trip. Eventually the new hailstone either becomes too heavy or moves to a weaker part of the updraft and falls.
