Answer:

Spring/ Summer

Step-by-step explanation:

Hailstones form when the updrafts generated by thunderstorms (which are more common in spring and summer than winter) quickly lift water droplets high in the troposphere, where they freeze at very low temperatures, then fall. Sleet occurs when falling snow melts and then refreezes before it hits the ground.
