Winter
Sleet :) do you have Mrs Webber too? Haha or are you working on the 6. Wind and Weather crossword worksheet as well? :)
I would rather go barefoot on freezing ice. Ice may be uncomfortable and can cause frostbite, but it is less likely to cause serious and permanent damage compared to hot coals, which can cause severe burns.
Ice pellets (sleet) frequently occurs mixed in with freezing rain, and is made of frozen raindrops. Sleet forms in advance of a warm front in the wintertime in a narrow band, usually sandwiched between an area of snow and an area of rain or freezing rain associated with an extratropical cyclone. Rain being produced in a warm layer aloft falls into a cold air layer below. If the cold layer is deep enough, then the raindrops freeze. If the cold layer is very dry, sleet will more readily form due to evaporative cooling.
The harvest in Egypt was in March and/or April.
Hail is a feature of thunderstorms, so it is very rare in the tundra. As far as sleet and snow, it depends on the region, since tundra covers a lot of area. Some places can see sleet and snow all year, while others get quite warm in the summer and would not see any frozen precipitation.

sleet
There is rain, sleet, snow, and hail (most common is rain). :-D Why stop at 4? You want all 13? Here are the classics: Rain, Sleet, Snow, Hail, and Mixed. If you need the ones only a Meteorologis would love, then you have Snow Pellets, Snow Grains, Drizzle, Freezing Drizzle, Freezing Rain, Freezing Fog, Ice Crystals and good ol' Graupel!

That would be sleet.
Freezing rain is possible on Sunday as a dynamic winter storm enters the state's atmosphere. Snow and rain are widely understood forms of precipitation, but often times freezing rain and sleet have people confused as to what they are and what makes them different. Between the two, freezing rain is considered as the more dangerous because it often immediately leads to very slippery roadways. It can also begin to build up as ice on power lines and tree limbs. During periods of heavy icing, freezing rain is often blamed for power outages. Sleet can also yield slick roadways, but often accumulates much in the way snow does. Interestingly, the term sleet is used almost exclusively in the United States. More often in the rest of the world sleet is referred to as what it actually is: ice pellets. Freezing rain falls in the atmosphere as a liquid. It freezes only when it comes in contact with surfaces that are at or below freezing. When freezing rain occurs, an ice glaze can develop easily on any surface it touches. In many cases, that would be roads and sidewalks and is one reason why bridges and overpasses can become so dangerous when freezing rain threatens. Sleet falls in the atmosphere as a solid pellet of ice. That is why it is commonly referred to as ice pellets. The precipitation is in a totally frozen solid state as it travels through the air, and when it hits the ground. Though it may melt after hitting the Earth's surface and re-freeze, that would be after the fact, and what separates it from freezing rain.
The answer would be hail because it can grow larger and larger before it hits the ground and cause tremendous damage to crops, buildings, and vehicles.
Freezing
summer
many people think it is freezing rain but really it is sleet! Sleet starts out frozen hits a pocket of warm air starts to melt then it hits a cold pocket of air before it hits the ground. it may repeat this pattern various times before hitting the ground.
You want all 13? Here are the classics: Rain, Sleet, Snow, Hail, and Mixed. If you need the ones only a Meteorologist would love, then you have Snow Pellets, Snow Grains, Drizzle, Freezing Drizzle, Freezing Rain, Freezing Fog, Ice Crystals and good ol' Graupel (which would be a cool band name)! Tip of the hat to METAR. Cheers!
Sleet is primarily a noun. However, the past tense of the verb form would be 'sleeted'.
