It’s called “aguanieve” in Spanish. We get it a lot in the winter in the warmer parts of northern Spain. It’s like Nature can’t make up her mind whether to snow or rain.
So yeah, I guess it’s possible, if someone went and invented a name for it.

I thought it might be this:
Then I realize I was whooshed. Kind of a coincidence, though, don’t you think? Except for the part where it was on a totally different day.
Bozeman had record precipitation yesterday (at least, for that day of the year). When I woke up, it was heavy snow, and around noon, it turned to rain, but it didn’t stop at all for at least 16 hours straight. I didn’t notice any rain and snow at the same time yesterday (I was concentrating on my lunch when it transitioned), but I’ve seen that happen often enough around here, too, mostly when it’s just a little above freezing and raining, and the rain drops the temperature just enough. It’s generally a transition from rain to snow, and lasts about an hour or so.
… and I was certain it was aliens.
Twas a nice day in San Francisco. I don’t mind rain, except for its effects on baseball games, so I certainly hope tonight is free of precipitation.

I prefer to put socks on my feet, but I figure as long as you’re not hurting anyone else, to each his own.
I live in Portland, Oregon. No one here has ever seen anything like what you’re describing. Must be some kind of local phenomenon-- swamp gas, ball lightning, or what have you.
I must apologize for this. It was a demonstration of “Proof of Conecpt” that was reqired by my potential employer Mr. Winston Smith to prove my “bona fides.”
It was a very high airburst of my antimatter bomb using just a few grams of antimatter.
Just a proof of concept, hope your eyes didn’t get too irradiated. :o
Cool! You got one the size and shape of a quarter that I could… um… borrow? I’ve got a grudge against a vending machine back at the University of Maryland…
It ATE MY MONEY when I tried to buy PEANUT BUTTER CUPS! I’ve wanted to get back at it, using antimatter, ever since
