In the US, we call snow flakes that turn to rain as they fall, then refreeze before they hit the ground sleet.

In Canada (or at least in Southern Ontario), they are apparently called ice pellets.

I think I like the Canadian term better. Though it makes me wonder if they have a different term for "hail."
