A type of precipitation consisting of transparent pellets of ice 5 mm or less in diameter. Same as ice pellets.

rain that freezes as it falls to Earth. Also called ice pellets. Read more in the NG Education Encyclopedia

Generally refers to a mixture of rain and snow or falling snow that is melting into rain.

Also known as ice pellets, it is winter precipitation in the form of small bits or pellets of ice that rebound after striking the ground or any other hard surface. It is reported as "PE" in an observation and on the METAR. 

rain mixed with snow or hail

a form of precipitation where snow falls through warmer air and arrives at the surface partially melted.

A mixture of rain and snow.

(n) partially melted snow (or a mixture of rain and snow)(v) precipitate as a mixture of rain and snow

Rain drops that freeze into ice pellets before reaching the ground. Sleet usually bounces when hitting a surface and does not stick to objects. Forms when snow enters a warm layer of air above the sur [..]

Also known as ice pellets, it is winter precipitation in the form of small bits or pellets of ice that rebound after striking the ground or any other hard surface.

Precipitation consisting of rain and snow mixed.

Describes solid grains of ice formed by the freezing of raindrops or the refreezing of largely melted snowflakes. These grains usually bounce upon impact with the ground or pavement. Heavy sleet is a relatively rare event defined as an accumulation of ice pellets covering the ground to a depth of 1/2" (13 mm) or more. See Ice Pellets.

Precipitation consisting of transparent pellets, 5 millimeters or less in diameter. Also called ice pellets. Forms when snow enters a warm layer of air above ground surface, melts and then enters a deep layer of sub-freezing air near the surface and refreezes.

Sleet is icy precipitation. Sleet started out as snow up in the clouds, but it passed through a layer of air that was warmer than freezing (32 °F or 0 °C). The warm air made the snowflake melt but the [..]
