How it's used
This term specifically describes frozen precipitation that looks like small white pellets or grains, similar to fish eyes. It is rarely used in daily Hong Kong life due to the subtropical climate, and most locals would simply use the general term 落雪 to describe any form of falling snow or sleet. You will mostly encounter this word in weather reports or when discussing colder regions.
