That horrible combination of rain that is not quite snow...but soon will be.
Basically, it's airborne precipitation that fluctuates mid-drop, and can't seem to make up its mind whether it's rain...or snow...

A combination of snow and rain. It's like slushy water(hydrogen oxide) falling out of the clouds in the sky. Not cold enough for snow but not warm enough for rain. The snain is in the soquid phase. Between a solid and a liquid. When the snain is falling out of the sky, it's snaining! H2O(l) ⇆ H2O(s) is basically liquid water and solid water at the same time, or H2O(sqd) which is soquid water, or soquid (sqd).

A slushy mix of snow flakes and rain droplets. The outter layer of a snain flake is soft and slushy while the inner core is icy. This wintry mix makes walking and driving rather fun

Verb: Pronounced (SNAYN): To rain and snow at the same time, usually uncomfortably cold when doing so, mostly happens when you arent prepared for the weather. Michigan is the only state it seems to happen in.
