Sleet or slush

What's the difference between sleet and slush ( I mean when they are nouns)?
  

Top answer

Good question. Sleet refers to frozen or partially frozen rain (often what people call the icy mix of snow and rain), whereas slush is the melted snow that's already fallen. Fallen snow and sleet turns the street into a slushy mess.

If it bounces when it hits the ground, it's sleet.

No. Sleet is snow mixed with rain and doesn't bounce. Hail, however (frozen rain) DOES bounce.
