Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SIV-SOU
SLEET (either from Nor. sletta, of the same meaning, or related to Ger. Schlosse, hailstone) , that form of precipitation of
water
  vapour condensed from the
atmosphere
 , which reaches the ground in a partly frozen
condition
 .
Sleet
  may originate in the upper
atmosphere
  either as
rain
 , in which
case
 , to become partly frozen, it must have fallen into a stratum of air colder than that in which it originated, or as snow, when the opposite must have
taken
place
 , i.e. the snow in its descent must have encountered an air-temperature slightly above the freezing-point.
