Definition of sleet by United States Weather Bureau expert
Prof H C Frankenfield of the Weather Bureau defined sleet as frozen or partly frozen rain formed when rain falls from a relatively warm air layer into a colder layer that freezes some or all of the drops. He noted that sleet differs from hail and snow and that sleet storms are most frequent over interior valleys extending eastward, observed from October to May. The term smooth ice describes a related but distinct form of precipitation.
