What is the difference between sleet and freezing rain?
A. Freezing rain only happens in the winter when temperatures are coldest, while sleet can happen any time of year.
B. Freezing rain happens when the air isn’t cold enough to freeze the water before it hits the ground, while sleet is rain that does freeze before it reaches the ground.
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!

While sleet and freezing rain both require colder air common in winter, colder air makes falling rain freeze.

If the layer of freezing air is thin, the rain will not freeze until it reaches the cold surface of the ground. This is known as freezing rain.

If the layer of freezing air is thicker, the raindrops freeze while still falling, known as sleet.
