KnowraIce pelletsLinked fromLinked fromThe 10 pages that link to Ice pellets, each with the reason it gives.All 10Broader topic 1Related 1Compared with 8SnowCompared with: Unlike snowflakes, sleet consists of hard pellets created by melting and refreezing.BlizzardCompared with: Sleet is frozen precipitation, unlike the falling or windblown snow central to blizzards.Freezing rainCompared with: A deeper subfreezing layer freezes drops aloft, producing sleet instead of surface glaze.HailCompared with: Sleet forms through atmospheric melting and refreezing, unlike hail's growth in thunderstorm updrafts.RainCompared with: It can form when falling rain passes through a sufficiently cold air layer.Ice stormCompared with: Unlike freezing rain, sleet freezes in the air and usually builds less glaze on surfaces.GraupelCompared with: Sleet forms by refreezing falling liquid, not by riming a snowflake in a cloud.Rain and snow mixedCompared with: Sleet is solid ice, unlike the liquid-and-snow mixture described here.
