Well, you know what rain is. You know what snow is. Sleet is when rain freezes and falls in little balls. Like hail, only rain drop size. Like little BB's all over. Harder to drive on then snow. With snow you get traction. With sleet, your screwed. hahaha
Sleet was mad when it started, but kind of warmed up to you when it got here. Freezing rain started with some optimism, but copped an attitude when it met ya. When it gets here sleet goes into a "Wicked Witch" imitation, whereas freezing rain is more like a mother-in-law who comes for Christmas, but doesn't plan to leave until Easter.
Good luck in New Hampshire. Been there in Winter. It's beautiful if you don't slip and fall.
Thanks guys . . . so it's like geting hit with buckshot (sleet) instead of being whacked by a 12 gauge slug (hail). Now I get it. Thanks again.
Garth..........If you stood on my front lawn today..........You'd of felt Sleet!
I donno' I have never been hit with buckshot.......
But, I have sure been hit with sleet.
Its not fun to drive in because it is ICE.........I'd rather drive in snow anyday.
I'd post a picture, but then again..........sleet is hard to photograph...
