According to Nolan Doesken, assistant climatologist for the state of Colorado and author of "The Snow Booklet", a snow flake can fall anywhere from 9 miles-per-hour to 1.5 miles-per-hour.
"The really rimed crystals can buzz right along like a blur," he says. "A nice little stellar crystal, the favorite magical snowflake with the arms that everybody draws, will float down more gently," at a mere 1.5 mph.

'Sleet' or 'hail'.
depends how cold the climate and temperature of the region. Generally it will fall as rain, but at temperatures close to freezing will fall as sleet, and freezing or below..snow.
hail,rain,and snow
Precipitation is rain, snow, sleet or hail.
Rain(drops of water that fall from a cloud and have a diameter of at least 0.5 millimeter) and snow (precipitation in the form of ice crystals or, more often, aggregates of ice crystals). Other forms include sleet (falling small particles of ice that are clear to translucent), glaze (formed when supercooled raindrops turn to ice on colliding with solid objects), hail (hard, rounded pellets or irregular lumps of ice produced in large cumulonimbus clouds), and rime (a deposit of ice crystals formed by the freezing of supercooled fog or cloud droplets on objects whose surface temperature is below freezing).
Sleet can form when raindrops freeze into tiny particles of ice as they fall through the air.
Frozen drops of rain that fall as pellets of ice and water are called sleet. Sleet is formed when snowflakes partially melt as they fall through a warm layer of air, then refreeze into ice pellets before reaching the ground.
sleet
It becomes sleet...
Precipitation is;- Rain Sleet Snow Hail
The sentence describes how precipitation occurs, in the form of rain, snow, or sleet, when heavy droplets fall from clouds to the Earth.
DETERMINE
Sleet is a type of frozen precipitation that occurs when raindrops freeze before reaching the ground, typically during colder months. It is unlikely to fall in summer when temperatures are generally warm enough for rain rather than sleet. However, in some regions with unusual weather patterns or altitude variations, it is theoretically possible for sleet to occur during summer under specific conditions.
The name for raindrops that freeze as they fall through the air is sleet.
The five ways precipitation can fall to earth are rain, snow, sleet, hail, and drizzle.
very fast how fast can u fall
Rain, hail, snow and sleet can fall in most deserts.
