Abstract
To decrease the accretion rate of a growing hailstone its deposit has to be made dry. Under such conditions a spherical form is prefered to an ellipsoidal one. The growth rate of the former is lower than that of the latter to a factor of two. The accretion rate can be slowed down further when the small cloud particles are partially frozen. In a solid state they will mostly be rejected from the surface of the (dry) hailstone and do not contribute to growth.
