Sleet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 2600:387:f:9b::4 (talk) at 00:39, 11 January 2023 (See also: Hail and sleet are not the same thing so I deleted hail from the see also section).

Sleet is a regionally variant term for some meteorological phenomena:

  • Ice pellets, pellets of ice composed of frozen raindrops or refrozen melted snowflakes (United States)
  • Rain and snow mixed, snow that partially melts as it falls (UK, Ireland, Canada, and most Commonwealth countries)
  • Glaze, a smooth coating of ice formed on objects by freezing rain.
