Salute an icy aerial bombardment? (4)
I believe the answer is:
hail
This clue could be a double definition.
'salute an icy aerial' is the first definition.
'hail' can be an answer for 'salute' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm unsure of the 'an icy aerial' bit.
'bombardment?' is the second definition.

Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hail that I've seen before include "Welcome - sort of shower" , "An ancient Roman hello" , "Greet enthusiastically" , "Greeting - falling stones" , "Greet, acclaim" .)
