Sleet consists of small ice pellets that form when raindrops freeze before hitting the ground, often creating a layer of ice. In contrast, slush is a mixture of partially melted snow and water, typically found in wet, slushy conditions after a snowfall when temperatures rise. While sleet is solid and can create slippery surfaces, slush is more fluid and may be easier to walk through, although it can still be messy. Both forms occur in wintry weather but represent different stages and states of precipitation.
