Answer:
Sleet
Step-by-step explanation:
Sleet is melted snow or rain which freezes into ice pellets before reaching the ground. Sleet consists of small, hard, ice particles (pellets) which are clear or translucent. Sleet occurs under certain weather conditions when the layer of freezing air along the surface is thicker. Sleet does not usually cause serious damage to transportation systems or crops like the other types of precipitation such as hail, heavy snow or freezing rain.
