Nasty fall? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sleet

'nasty fall?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for sleet that I've seen before include "Cold precipitation" , "Mixture of rain and snow" , "Partially frozen rain" , "Partly melted falling snow or hail" , "Wintry precipitation" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
