1. 1夾著雨雪的、有凍雨的(形容天氣,不是名詞)

    Sleety is the adjective for that half-frozen rain: weather that is full of , or rain that has ice in it. A sleety morning is cold, wet, and sharp on the face at the same time. You can say sleety rain or a sleety wind. Though actually, in speech many people skip the adjective and just say “It’s ” or “There’s .” Sleety is a little more written, or weather-report, than the noun. It only describes; it is not a thing you can have two of. You do not say “a sleety” the way you say “.”

組成sleet (the icy rain) + -y (full of it, or like it).
