What Wikipedia says

Ice pellets (Commonwealth English) or sleet (American English) is a form of precipitation consisting of small, hard, translucent balls of ice. Ice pellets are different from graupel ("soft hail"), which is made of frosty white opaque rime; and from a mixture of rain and snow, which is a slushy liquid or semisolid.
