Crossword Genius

Greet the weather (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hail

This clue is a double definition.

'greet' is the first definition.
(I know that hail is a more specific form of greet)

'weather' is the second definition.
(hail is a kind of weather)

'the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for hail that I've seen before include "Greet, acclaim" , "Call, a taxi say" , "Greet loudly" , "wintry weather" , "Greet(ing) - frozen shower" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
