One thing that caught my eye is that, in comparison to snow, sleet is
relatively less likely in March and April than in the winter months.
Presumably that's because there tends to be a steeper temperature
gradient with height in spring than in winter when cold air is advected
to the UK, so that partial melting as it falls of what starts as snow is
less likely.
