Sleet is snow that melts in the sky and re-freezes before hitting the ground as ice pellets and Freezing rain is snow that melts into water and doesn't re-freeze before hitting the ground...but the ground temperature is below 32 degrees, so the rain will freeze on contact causing a glaze of ice.

Is there more humidity during the summer or winter?

it hails more in the summer because in the winter it sleets or snow and in the summer it rains but here is the thing in the summer rain drops fall and hail falls because rain drops falling may be turn back into the clouds because of either strong wind or so other problems. Then it goes through a cold surface and then turns to hail and falls to the ground it will melt after it gets to the ground surface. But in the winter you may see ice pellets falling and you probably think it is hailing but its actually sleet because sleet goes through a different process from hail so remember hail is different then sleet and it hails more in the summer


What is a frozen raindrop?

A frozen raindrop, also known as sleet, occurs when raindrops fall through a layer of cold air and freeze before reaching the ground. This results in small ice pellets that can accumulate on surfaces, creating slippery conditions. Unlike snowflakes, which form from ice crystals, frozen raindrops are formed from liquid water that solidifies during its descent. Sleet can often be confused with hail, but hail typically forms in thunderstorms and is larger in size.
