Test your knowledge. Sleet is the frozen precipitation which melts in thin warm air and then refreezes again before hitting the ground.
Freezing rain is also a type of frozen precipitation but it melts in the warm air and freezes again only after coming in contact with cold surfaces. Forms in clouds at temperatures below freezing point. The snow needs to be in a frozen state between the cloud to surface of the Earth. Layer of freezing air is quite thin, and thus the water freezes after coming in contact with the surface. It can be very dangerous as it is almost invisible on smooth surfaces.
A person can easily slip while walking on the slick sidewalks covered in freezing rain. Difference between Snow, Sleet and Freezing Rain. Key Difference: Snow, sleet and freezing rain are all different types of precipitation that occur during winters.
Snow is the frozen form of precipitation which falls in the form of six sided ice crystals. Sleet falls as ice pallets and can be found bouncing off the wind-shields or roof during the winters. Freezing rain refer to those rain droplets which freeze upon hitting the surface of ground. Freezing rain refers to those rain droplets which freeze upon hitting the surface of the ground. Necessary condition for formation Forms in clouds at temperatures below freezing point.
The difference is the warm layer is much deeper and extends closer to the ground making the layer of sub-freezing air near the earth's surface much thinner. As a result, the rain drops do not have time to refreeze into ice pellets and instead adhere to various surfaces such as cars, trees and power lines. You may have guessed already, but for snow the warm layer aloft is absent and the snowflakes make it all the way to the ground.
Snow can fall when surface temperatures are above freezing in a relatively shallow layer at the surface. In situations like this, the snow will not have enough time to melt before reaching the ground — though it will be quite wet with large flakes, the result of wet snowflakes sticking to one another.
