Is This Rain or Sleet

A Russian tour guide named Rudolph was giving a lady a tour of Moscow, when the weather turned foul. Holding up her hand to feel the precipitation, the lady said, "I can't tell if this is rain or sleet."
"Is rain, definitely rain," said the tour guide.
"How can you be so sure?" asked the lady?
"Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear."
