Rain and Snow Mixed
|
Rain and snow mixed (also known as sleet) is precipitation composed of rain and partially melted snow. This precipitation can occur where the temperature in the lower part of the atmosphere is slightly above the freezing point (0 °C, 32 °F). The METAR code for this precipitation is RASN. This precipitation is soft (unlike ice pellets) and translucent, but it can contain some traces of ice crystals, due to partially fused snowflakes. It is usually a transition phase from rain to snow or vice versa. The United States National Weather Service uses the term sleet to refer to ice pellets. From Wikipedia under the
