Precipitation consisting of generally transparent frozen raindrops that form when snowflakes fall through a warmer layer and melt, before passing through a sub-freezing layer near the surface and completely refreezing into ice pellets. Sleet does not freeze on contact like freezing rain (also known as glaze).
