It could have been freezing rain.
Freezing rain occurs when the cloud is above 32F or 0C and the temperature around the ground is colder so it freezes before it hits the ground.
Or it could have been hail.
Hail occurs during a thunderstorm when inside the cloud it is freezing and motions inside the cloud make the hail move around and get bigger and bigger until it is too big, so it falls.
The stronger the motions in the cloud the the bigger the hail.

Technically, wouldn't raining ice be hail?

Yup, but it sounds kinda funny... raining ice? Shouldn't it be hailstones / blizzards,
etc...??
