Oct 10, Jun 11, And we're thrilled to hear from you, leodkejici! I have learned the difference between rain, snow and sleet! We wonder if rain can turn in snow when it hits the ground!

Jon-Patrick Jan 17, We usually get snow or sleet, but this morning we're getting freezing rain. This article was great at explaining the differences and how they form. Thank you for taking the time to create and maintain this website. Greatly appreciated. Jan 17, Jan 13, I traded yol parants for 2 dolar Jul 28, U got chicken Jul 27, I want all of it.

Pickle Apr 1, If these raindrops and supercooled water droplets fall into a shallow layer of air at and just above the surface of the earth, they will freeze relatively soon after making contact with a surface that has a temperature at or below freezing. The red squiggly line is the air temperature, and the blue line is the dew point temperature measured from the surface of the earth near the bottom of the graph up above 25, feet at the top. The air temperature is below freezing until about millibars then it goes above freezing from down to about millibars.
Snowflakes turn to liquid raindrops as they fall through this layer before encountering a shallow layer of below-freezing air just before making contact with surfaces on earth.
For sleet to occur, those raindrops will freeze into ice pellets before reaching the surface of the earth. They can sting too when hitting exposed skin, such as on the face. Hopefully, you now know the difference between freezing rain and sleet and will be prepared for the next icy event.

The diagram below shows the difference between all types of precipitation. Notice how sleet only travels through a shallow warm layer to cause some melting, but then proceeds to travel through a thicker layer of cold air than freezing rain does , allowing the precipitation to completely refreeze.
