Hail is hagel.

Yes but in Sweden, atleast northern Sweden, "hagel" is used colloquially with sleet since we very rarely get real hail. I don't know another Swedish word for those fuzzy pellets of compressed snow (graupel) (like airsoft pellets) or small ice crystals (ice pellets).

However, I just realized that I think the British use sleet to refer to water-mixed snow, so I guess Lommaren isn't wrong per se. I was just confused because in the rest of the world, it means ice pellets.

Yes, sleet here refers to rain/snow mix.

They're all above average except for the last one. In the past on threads like this I'd usually put something like 67/49 (like 9F below average) just so I could hold out hope but I'm sick of being disappointed. Average on Christmas is 76/61 I think and on New Years like 76/60.

I'll be in Stuart, so I predict 79 F/64 F. Christmas Day is the warmest day in late December on average, for some reason.

Northern Ohio here.

Highs on all four days will be between 20 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit, lows between 0 and 50. Precipitation will range from 0 to 3 inches of rain, sleet, or freezing rain, and/or 0 to 18 inches of snow. Slight but non-zero chance of thunder snow, my favorite.

All outcomes are completely possible and should be prepared for.
