Forms in thunderstorms and it’s formation is completely different than sleet, which is a winter weather type of precipitation. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever experienced hail without thunder. I have, however, experienced, thunder sleet in State College, PA during an elevated thunderstorm in March, the surface temperature was cold enough for the rain to freeze into sleet. That was a very rare meteorological event. With all that said, in Annapolis I’m sure you have experienced more than 12 sleet storms.

Handle checks out. *

This was definitely hail.
Hail in Annapolis, and for most of the East Coast is rare *
