Rain and snow mixed (American English) or sleet (Commonwealth English) is precipitation composed of a mixture of rain and partially melted snow.Unlike ice pellets, which are hard, and freezing rain, which is fluid until striking an object where it fully freezes, this precipitation is soft and translucent, but it contains some traces of ice crystals from partially fused snowflakes, also called ...
Ice pellets (Canadian English [1]) or sleet (American English) is a form of precipitation consisting of small, hard, translucent balls of ice. Ice pellets are different from graupel ("soft hail"), which is made of frosty white opaque rime , and from a mixture of rain and snow , which is a slushy liquid or semisolid.
Sleet is a regionally variant term for some meteorological phenomena: Ice pellets , pellets of ice composed of frozen raindrops or refrozen melted snowflakes (United States) Rain and snow mixed , snow that partially melts as it falls (United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, and most Commonwealth countries)

The precipitation the British refer to as "hail", I would have called "sleet" in Oklahoma. I presume that they call those tiny ice pellets the size of raindrops that fall with wintry weather "hail" because they have never seen what we call "hail" and have no need to differentiate between a minor inconvenience and potential temporarily slippery ...
