Quote:
Snow is formed when temperatures are low and there is moisture - in the form of tiny ice crystals - in the atmosphere. When these tiny ice crystals collide they stick together in clouds to become snowflakes. If enough ice crystals stick together, they'll become heavy enough to fall to the ground


Quote:
Hail is caused when raindrops are lifted up into the atmosphere during a thunderstorm and then supercooled by temperatures below freezing, turning them into ice balls, says Dr. Dick Orville of Texas A&M University. "The faster the updraft on these balls of ice, the bigger they can grow," he adds. "On some hailstones, you can actually see rings inside them which show they were cycled through the thunderstorm more than once. What starts out as a tiny raindrop becomes a pea-size chunk of ice and some eventually get to be the size of baseballs or softballs. When these stones fall to earth, the damage can be devastating, even deadly. Large hailstones have been clocked at more than 90 miles per hour and there have been reports of humans and livestock being killed by large hailstones. Houses, buildings, cars and crops are usually the victims of hail, however. Hail usually forms over an area and leaves within a few minutes," Orville notes. "But there have been instances when hail can stay in the same area for tens of minutes, leaving several inches of ice on the ground."

If you are referring to what happened at Gathanji village of Ol-jororok division,that was hail and not snow.
