Snow is a delicate structure of ice crystals. Sleet is ice in small pellet form, very near the melting point and often mixed or coated with liquid water,
Snow forms in a cold air (below freezing) and falls to ground in cold air. Sleet may be snow that has fallen through a warm layer of air, melted, then through a colder layer where it freezes again. It can also be rain that falls from a warm layer of air (above freezing) and passes through cold air (below freezing) on the way down, freezing into small ice pellets.
Note: If the air is warm (above freezing) from the condensation level all the way to the ground, and the objects on the ground are below freezing, the fallen rain freezes onto the objects on the ground. This is called freezing rain.
