Solid grains of ice which form from the freezing of raindrops or the refreezing of melted snowflakes These small, transparent ice pellets usually bounce when they hit a hard surface
Precipitation consisting of transparent pellets of ice, five (5) millimeters of less in diameter Also called ice pellets Forms when snow enters a warm layer of air above the surface and melts and then enters a deep layer of sub freezing air on the surface and refreezes
falling snow or hail that has partly melted; partly frozen rain

partially melted snow (or a mixture of rain and snow) precipitate as a mixture of rain and snow; "If the temperature rises above freezing, it will probably sleet
Generally refers to a mixture of rain and snow or falling snow that is melting into rain
Pellets of ice that form when rain or melting snowflakes freeze while falling (Occurs in cold weather; hail usually occurs in summer )
a form of precipitation in which droplets are partially frozen as water-ice (or water-snow) mixture
in the U S , a term used to describe tiny ice pellets that are formed when rain or partially melted snowflakes refreeze before reaching the ground Colloquial usage of the term coincides with British usage, which defines sleet as a mixture of rain and snow
