This can be either sleet or freezing rain, though both technically start as snow and melt into rain. Sleet is rain that is able to freeze back into ice pellets before reaching the ground. Freezing rain is rain that does not have enough time to freeze into ice before reaching the ground - the cold layer is very shallow to the ground, so it is rain that freezes on contact with cold surfaces.
