Freezing rain (5)

I believe the answer is:

sleet

'freezing rain' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for sleet that I've seen before include "Precipitate evolution" , "Partially frozen rain" , "Wintry precipitation" , "Rain/ice mix" , "Cold precipitation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, The Mirror and the Penny Press.
