The English language lacks a word for a mixture of snow and hail,

Any ideas on what to call it?

Soft hail, snow pellets?

Well, yes, but I want a word. I have just had an idea: snobbling.

I think snohailing is good. Not to be confused with snowboarding which is a
sport for the people who can do it.
