Sleet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 41.162.109.186 (talk) at 10:13, 12 June 2019 (I am now able to show people how helpful this page is to me!). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Sleet is a regionally variant term for two distinct forms of precipitation:

  • Rain and snow mixed, snow that partially melts as it falls (UK, Ireland, and most Commonwealth countries)
  • Ice pellets, one of three forms of precipitation in "wintry mixes", the other two being snow and freezing rain (United States, Canada)

P.S not at all to little info on sleet
