Yes because it is a mixture of water and ice or water and snow.
A common symbol for sleet is a mixture of snowflake and raindrop icons. It is typically depicted as small white dots connected by vertical lines to represent frozen rain reaching the ground.
Precipitation means snow, sleet or rain.
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.
Sleet bounces when it hits the ground because it is partially frozen, with a mixture of both ice pellets and liquid water. This combination of solid and liquid causes it to rebound off surfaces rather than just melt on impact.
The forms of precipitation include rain, snow, sleet, and hail. Rain consists of liquid water droplets, snow forms when water vapor freezes into ice crystals, sleet is a mixture of rain and ice pellets, and hail is precipitation in the form of balls or lumps of ice.

Sleet
A precipitation event that includes a mixture of rain and snow is called sleet. Sleet occurs when snowflakes partially melt as they pass through a layer of warm air, then refreeze into ice pellets before reaching the ground.
A common symbol for sleet is a mixture of snowflake and raindrop icons. It is typically depicted as small white dots connected by vertical lines to represent frozen rain reaching the ground.
In the US it's just called a 'wintry mix,' although sometimes it is more commonly referred to as "sleet.' If you're referring to the METAR code, it's RASN.

A sleet shower refers to a brief period of precipitation where sleet falls from the sky. Sleet is a mixture of rain and snow, where snowflakes partially melt before reaching the ground. Sleet showers are common during transitional seasons when temperatures fluctuate around the freezing point.
A mixture of rain and snow falling at the same time is known as sleet.
Sleet bounces when it hits the ground because it is partially frozen, with a mixture of both ice pellets and liquid water. This combination of solid and liquid causes it to rebound off surfaces rather than just melt on impact.
The forms of precipitation include rain, snow, sleet, and hail. Rain consists of liquid water droplets, snow forms when water vapor freezes into ice crystals, sleet is a mixture of rain and ice pellets, and hail is precipitation in the form of balls or lumps of ice.
The four forms of precipitation are rain, snow, sleet, and hail. Rain is liquid water falling from clouds, snow is frozen water crystals, sleet is a mixture of rain and snow that partially melts before reaching the ground, and hail is round balls of ice that form in strong thunderstorms.
