Sleet
Several years ago I was on the bus into college. on miserable December morning. The college had a large hairdressers' training school and was inhabited by everyone who didn't qualify for the local nitting courses.

Anyway, there are these two girls at the back and it started sleeting. The conversation between them went something like this:
Hairdresser 1: Oh Look, it's started doing that thing where it rains and snows at the same time
Hairdresset 2: What? Sleeting?
Hairdresser 1: Yeah, but there's a special name for it. It's where it rains and snows at the same time
Hairdresser 2: Yeah, Sleet
Hairdresser 1: NO! There's a special name. It's like when it... like rains and snows at the same time.
Hairdresser 2: Yeah, Sleeting.
Me: It's f*cking Sleeting, now shut up.
