Cold slush. Or just- slush. Or patchy ice, patchy snow. Hope this helps, :D
sleet i guess----------------------The above 'sleet' is correct for half frozen rain (that is falling). However half melted snow (on the ground) is called 'slush'.
Sleet
Another name for frozen rain is sleet. It is a type of frozen precipitation that consists of raindrops that have frozen before reaching the ground.

A word that describes frozen rain is ice.
It can be frozen in a photograph.
Hail is frozen rain, but it is made by accretion high in the clouds. Rain that freezes on its way down to the surface is called sleet.
Actually they are the same; sleet is frozen rain, or ice pellets. This is not to be confused with FREEZING rain, which is rain that freezes near the ground level if it is colder than above. Sleet is already frozen when it hits.
Partially frozen rain is called Snow. This is because when you usually see the first snow fall, it doesn't pile up on the ground right away. It takes time until there are many snow flakes. But what does happen is that it will melt right away. So it's not rain, all water, its not hail, totally frozen ice, but it's Snow. Frozen, but not to a great extent.
The main types of precipitation are rain, snow, sleet, and hail. Rain is liquid water droplets falling from the sky, while snow is ice crystals. Sleet is frozen raindrops or partially melted snowflakes, and hail is balls of ice that form in thunderstorms.
