Hail is cold because it is ice. More specifically, hail originates very high in the atmosphere, where it is always very cold. When a hailstone is large enough it falls back to the ground fast enough that it does not have time to warm back up.
Hail is typically cold because it forms in cold thunderstorm clouds where temperatures at high altitudes are below freezing. As hail falls to the ground, it may retain its cold temperature even if it melts slightly on the way down.
Frozen water droplets are known as hail.
No, blizzards do not produce hail. Blizzards are severe snowstorms characterized by strong winds and blowing snow, whereas hail is formed in thunderstorms when updrafts carry raindrops into cold upper atmospheres where they freeze into ice pellets.
A cold front is most likely to bring hail and tornadoes into an area. As the cold front advances, it forces warm, moist air to rise rapidly, creating instability that can lead to severe thunderstorms, hail, and tornado development.
No. In fact hail forms best when it is warm. No matter how warm the weather is at the ground, it will always be well below freezing in the upper troposphere. Hail is a phenomenon that occurs during thunderstorms with strong updrafts, which form best when air near the ground is warm and moist.Sleet, which is sometimes confused with hail, does require cold temperatures around freezing.
yes a hail cannon is cold
No. Hail is ice; it is cold.

somewhere cold
cold
Frozen water droplets are known as hail.
because ice is cold and hail is ice
something cold and wet and painful
Hail has a bigger diameter because sleet comes out of the clouds as the form of rain, then if its just cold enough, it freezes when it gets to a point where its cold. Hail is frozen high in the sky, so it has more time to freeze and get larger.

hail
sometimes it isn't cold enough for the hail to fall in it's ice form.
