"Sleet" in context

Sleet is an atmospheric condition characterized by a mixture of rain and snow. It forms when snowflakes fall into a warm layer of air, where the snowflakes melt partially into rain droplets and then refreeze in the colder lower atmosphere. Sleet usually occurs during cold fronts and when temperatures are near or slightly below freezing. It is a type of winter precipitation that can accumulate on roads, making them slippery and dangerous. When temperatures are extremely low, sleet can occur in the form of pellets or even grains of ice.
