SleetWhereas hail forms within clouds, sleet begins as snow falling to earth after having left it's originating cloud. The snow partially melts on its trip down in a layer of warm air but then refreezes into ice crystals that appear much like hail.
Sleet is also used colloquially for rain mixed with some frozen droplets.
