Snow and rain mixture (5)

I believe the answer is:

sleet

(Other definitions for sleet that I've seen before include "Rain/ice mix" , "unpleasant weather" , "Partly melted falling 16 across or 18 down" , "Partly melted falling snow or hail" , "Mixed rain and melting snow" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
