Answer 2

The correct answer should be snow. Snow falls when the temeprature is 32F or 0C. It doens't fall when temperatures are higher because the water vapor doens't crystalize, and it often doesn't fall when the temperature is much lower either. Sleet is that weird mixture between snow and rain that falls when temperature goes down but is not yet low enough for full snow to go down.
