Thursday Morning Riddle: Evening Edition

I’m a cheer or salute used to welcome a chum;
I’m to flag down a cab with your hand or your thumb;
I’m to claim a home town as the place you are from;
And the pellets of ice that cold rain can become.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Dharam. See comments for answer… in anagram form!
