    I think sleet and freezing rain might be the same thing in that they are rain that freezes when it gets close to the ground in cold weather. But hail is hunks of ice falling out of the clouds, it starts frozen I think and happens even in warm weather.
    Not sure, i'm not a weather man.

    Dont you love the weather? 10%, 50%, 90% chance of rain..... is it just me, or does that bother anyone else. Seriously, predicting the chance of rain by using percentages is useless. How will you know if they are right. What if yesterday it snowed at 80% chance, and today it snowed at 2% chance...

    its a conspiracy I tell you! They can't go wrong! They are always going to be right!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!
