Abstract We consider an extension of the Poisson hail model where the service speed is either 0 or ∞ at each point of the Euclidean space. We use and develop tools pertaining to sub-additive ergodic theory in order to establish shape theorems for the growth of the ice-heap under light tail assumptions on the hailstone characteristics. The asymptotic shape depends on the statistics of the hailstones, the intensity of the underlying Poisson point process, and on the geometrical properties of the zero speed set.

Consider the Boolean model in ℝ2, where the germs form a homogeneous Poisson point process with intensity λ and the grains are convex compact random sets. It is known (see, e.g., Cressie (1993, Section 9.5.3)) that Laslett's rule transforms the exposed tangent points of the Boolean model into a homogeneous Poisson process with the same intensity. In the present paper, we give a simple proof of this result, which is based on a martingale argument. We also consider the cumulative process of uncovered area in a vertical strip and show that a (linear) Poisson process with intensity λ can be embedded in it.
