What is sleet?
When the air temperature is very cold, water vapour in clouds may fall as sleet, hail, or snow. Water droplets in the clouds get cold, but may not freeze completely. Sleet forms when partially frozen water droplets, or rainwater, in the clouds falls and freezes completely when it hits the surface of the Earth.
Like freezing rain, sleet may be dangerous because it coats roads and sidewalks with ice. Cars may not be able to stop on the slippery roads and many collisions between cars may occur. Slippery sidewalks are very difficult to walk along.
