Slain is just slightly solid rain. It’s closer to rain than sleet.

Here’s the continuum. Apologies if I forget anything

Rain - slain - sleet - wet snow - packing snow - snow - that snow I don’t have a word for, but when it’s so cold that nothing sticks together at all - no snow because it’s to cold to precipitate

Note: freezing rain is most likely to occur around 0 degrees, but that’s a guideline, not a rule. So it doesn’t get slated into the above continuum and can be broadly placed above it.
lol, an interesting outline here. So what I had was sleet, that was very small, but too large to be snowflakes. it then melted as soon as it hit the ground because it was a little over freezing.

Yeah the sleet wasn't fun, but I was able to go off roading with another forum member here. He's got a heavily built Rubicon, and trying to keep up with him was pretty fun but eventually the ruts were just too deep for me to make it up the hill behind him. An advantage of 37' MTs and 4.88 gears. :)

I made it most of the way up, but it got to the point I was just spinning tires and sitting on the axles. I backed down and he told me the only thing up top of the hill is a turnaround anyway. we kept going in deeper and followed the trail through the creek beds. It was a pretty mild trail more or less, but some extreme hills on the sides he likes to test out.
